Denmark vs Switzerland

Parken Stadium forms the backdrop for a handsomely-looking UEFA Nations League Group A/4 showdown between Denmark and Switzerland.

After failing to take a single win at Euro 2024 despite reaching the knockout stages (D3, L1), Kasper Hjulmand’s four-year reign came to a halt in the summer, with Morten Wieghorst taking his place in the dugout as a caretaker manager. There’s no time to adapt to a new role as the Danish FA seeks Hjulmand’s heir, with Denmark drawn into a competitive-looking Group A/4 alongside Euro 2024 winners Spain, Serbia, and Switzerland. On the bright side, Denmark’s record since earning promotion to League A looks encouraging (W7, D1, L4), while they can take further confidence from their home form in the past 20 months. They’ve won all five competitive outings on home turf since the start of 2023, netting multiple goals in four.

Meanwhile, visiting Switzerland impressed at the Euros, advancing to the quarter-finals, where eventual runners-up England got the better of them on penalties. Murat Yakin’s side went unbeaten in the group stages (W1, D2) before utterly outclassing Italy in the round of 16 (2-0), reaffirming their continental credentials. On top of that, the Swiss can draw heart from their sublime record across their last 19 internationals (W8, D9, L2) as they look to defy an underwhelming H2H run against Denmark. Since winning the first-ever meeting between the two nations in 1984, they’ve failed to beat this opposition in their last six clashes (D4, L2), drawing a blank in the most recent two. Switzerland’s topsy-turvy record in League A (W7, D3, L6) suggests this fixture could go both ways.
