Six goals were scored when these sides met in Copenhagen last month, with Portugal eventually running out 4-2 winners. Denmark equalised twice through Mikkel Damsgaard and Rasmus Hojlund, before goals from Vitinha and Joao Felix settled the contest. There were a total of 31 shots in that match, of which 13 hit the target.

Portugal were particularly dangerous, accounting for ten of those efforts on target, but it was far from a one-sided contest. Denmark finished the match with 12 shots, and they actually recorded more possession than Portugal. Over 2.5 goals has landed in each of the last three matches for Portugal, including twice against Norway.

Portugal won seven corners against Denmark in the reverse fixture, clearing this line despite having just 46% possession. They should be able to exert more control on this game, given that the Selecao will benefit from home advantage. Still, Portugal have been effective at getting to the byline, and they often prefer to utilise width with attack-minded fullbacks.

They are averaging 6.3 corners per game in the Nations League so far, hitting this mark in three of their four matches. That includes six corners against Norway at home last time out. Meanwhile, Denmark are conceding an average of 4.5 corners per game at the Nations League this season, but this upcoming clash promises to be their toughest matchup of the group.

Hojlund is another player who has been in notable goalscoring form, both domestically and for his national side. The 23-year-old recently found the back of the net against Monza, as his side came away with a comfortable 4-1 win. Hojlund is averaging 2.48 shots per 90 across all competitions for Napoli, with 38% of those efforts hitting the target.

He scored Denmark’s second goal against Portugal in Copenhagen, finishing after being slipped through by Mikkel Damsgaard. Hojlund had five shots against Wales in his last appearance for Denmark - three of those attempts hit the target, and one found the back of the net which proved decisive.

Gustav Isaksen also recorded five shots in that game, and he is averaging 4.15 shots per 90 for Denmark at the Nations League so far, but the winger looks set for a larger defensive responsibility against Portugal this weekend. Isaksen has started twice for the Danes this season, and he has recorded exactly two infringements in both matches.

He now looks set to feature on the same flank as Nuno Mendes, who likes to maraude forward and have the ball at his feet. The PSG fullback has been fouled six times in his four starts for Portugal this season, averaging 1.55 fouls drawn per 90 which is one of the highest figures in the squad.

Denmark have scored in all four of their Nations League matches so far, netting twice in three of these games.

This run includes scoring twice against Portugal in the last international break as the home side.

This scoring power has put Denmark in a healthy position in the group, and a draw here could well be enough to see off the dimming threat of Norway and Wales.

Denmark have scored in each of their last 11 competitive matches more widely and the last side to keep them out was Scotland back in September last year as part of World Cup qualifying - the Danes still registered an xG of 1.20 on that occasion from 16 shots.

Portugal have faced Denmark three times over the last year and have failed to keep a clean sheet in any of these games. This includes Denmark netting twice from an xG of 1.98 as the away side last year.
