Denmark host Wales in the UEFA Nations League on 27 September 2026, a Group D clash between two sides still searching for their first points after one round. The figures below are as of 25 September 2026: Denmark sit third in the group on goal difference, with Wales just behind them in fourth – both level on zero points from a single game, so the group table offers little separation heading into this fixture.
Head-to-Head Record
Across the four recorded meetings between these two, dating back to 19 November 2008 and running through to 26 June 2021, Denmark hold a clear edge with 3 wins to Wales’ 1 and no draws. Denmark have scored 8 goals in that span against Wales’ 2, and the average of 2.5 total goals per meeting reflects that one-sided balance. The most recent of the four came at Euro 2020, a 4-0 Denmark win with Wales as the nominal hosts, while the earliest was a 2008 friendly won 1-0 by Wales.

Denmark: Recent Form
Denmark’s last six matches read L D D W L D, for a record of 1 win, 3 draws and 2 losses, 11 goals scored and 10 conceded, and a points-per-game figure of 1.00. One of those six games was a friendly (a 0-0 draw with DR Congo), so it shouldn’t be read as part of a competitive run. They have kept 2 clean sheets and failed to score just once in the sample, most recently losing 2-3 away to Norway before that friendly stalemate.
| Date | Venue | Opponent | Competition | Score | Result |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|

Wales: Recent Form
Wales’ equivalent run shows L L D D D W – also 1 win, 3 draws and 2 losses, with 11 goals for and 7 against and a matching 1.00 points-per-game rate. Three of their last six matches were friendlies, so more than half of that sample was not competitive football. They have not kept a clean sheet in this run and have failed to score once, most recently losing 0-1 away to Portugal after a 1-2 friendly defeat to Romania.

- Both sides carry identical points-per-game (1.00) and goal-for tallies (11) over their last six matches.
- Wales have the tighter defence of the two in recent form, conceding 7 compared with Denmark’s 10, but without a clean sheet in that run.

How Denmark and Wales Compare
Denmark and Wales arrive with near-identical output in their last six matches – the same points-per-game and the same goals scored – but Denmark have conceded more, while Wales’ record is padded by three friendlies against Denmark’s one. In this season’s UEFA Nations League Group D, Denmark sit third and Wales fourth, both winless and on zero points after their opening fixture, so there is little to separate them there either. Historically, though, Denmark have been the more prolific and successful side in this fixture, winning three of the four recorded meetings and scoring far more freely.
