Denmark host Portugal in the UEFA Nations League on 1 October 2026, a Group D fixture pairing Denmark’s third place with Portugal’s spot at the top of the same group. The figures below are as of 29 September 2026: Denmark sit third in Group D with 3 points from two games, while Portugal lead the group with a maximum 6 points from two matches.
Head-to-Head Record
Across all 10 recorded meetings between the two sides, running from 1 September 2006 to their most recent clash on 23 March 2025, Portugal hold the narrow edge with 5 wins to Denmark’s 4, plus 1 draw. Denmark have scored 16 goals in that span against Portugal’s 17, and an average of 3.3 total goals per meeting shows this has rarely been a low-scoring fixture. This is the recorded archive of meetings rather than a claim of the sides’ complete history, since the data only extends back to 2006.

Denmark: Recent Form
Denmark’s last six matches read W L D D W L, worth 1.33 points per game. They have scored 11 goals and conceded 8, kept 3 clean sheets and failed to score once. One of those six outings, a 0-0 draw with Democratic Republic of the Congo on 3 June 2026, was a friendly rather than a competitive fixture, so their competitive run is shorter than the full sequence suggests. Their most recent results include a 2-0 win over Wales on 27 September 2026 and a 2-3 loss away to Norway three days earlier.
