Denmark enters the match as the clear favorite. The team is playing in Copenhagen, where they are unbeaten in 22 consecutive official matches; their only loss in that span was to Spain, while they secured 18 victories in the other encounters. In the opening round, the Danes lost 2–3 to Norway but managed to rally from a 0–2 deficit, demonstrating the team's character and attacking potential.
Wales, by contrast, is facing serious personnel issues. Key players—Harry Wilson, Nathan Broadhead, Joe Rodon, and starting goalkeeper Karl Darlow—are sidelined due to injuries. The team is winless in its last five matches and has managed only two away victories in the past two years. In the opening round, the Welsh lost 0–1 to Portugal but put up a strong fight against the favorite.
The head-to-head record also favors the hosts: Denmark has won the last three meetings with an aggregate score of 8–1, including a 4–0 rout at Euro 2020.
