Portugal vs Denmark Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds

Rasmus Hojlund put Denmark in the front after scoring in the first leg.

Portugal national football team are all set to host Denmark national football team in the second leg of the UEFA Nations League 2024-25 quarter-final contest. It was overall a great effort in the first leg by the Danish football team as they are now ahead in the tie against Cristiano Ronaldo and Co. going into the second leg.

Roberto Martinez’s men will be kicking themselves after their below-average effort in the first leg. Their attack rate was low with the defensive lines being loose. The Portugal national football team will have to step up if they want to seal a spot in the UEFA Nations League semifinals this season. They will be under pressure here.

The Denmark national football team will be coming in with an advantage. They will be not under much pressure but it is surely not going to be an easy affair for the visitors. Cristiano Ronaldo and Co. will be coming in at full pace and will surely cause some problems for Denmark.

Players to Watch

Cristiano Ronaldo (Portugal)

CR7 will be leading the attacking line for his national team. Cristiano Ronaldo has the tendency to perform well under pressure and this will be one of those moments. Although Ronaldo did not come up with a great performance in the first leg, he will look to step up and score some goals here.

Rasmus Hojlund (Denmark)

The Manchester United forward was the sole goal scorer in the first leg between these two European nations. Rasmus Hojlund dropped a good performance and will be looking to do the same here. Hojlund is surely going to cause problems for Selecao’s defence and can lead his side to a win.
