After their goalless stalemate in Belgrade to kick off their Nations League campaign, Spain have been a potent attacking force, netting eight goals in their proceeding three games.

La Roja have accumulated a total of 8.04 xG so far, amounting to eight goals, highlighting how effective they are in the attacking third.

However, they will be without some key players for this match, particularly at the back. Dani Carvajal, Robin Le Normand and Rodri are all sidelined with respective injuries.

Meanwhile Denmark will be able to field a strong attacking contingent, with Christian Eriksen shaking off a recent injury.

The Danes have been effective on home turf this season, registering two wins from two, so will be confident of getting on the scoresheet as they look to consolidate their spot in second.

In the absence of Ballon D’or winner Rodri, Martin Zubimendi is once again expected to deputise as the holding midfielder.

Despite failing to register a foul in his previous game against Serbia, Zubimendi has been a real target for fouls in that Spanish midfield. When starting for his national side, he has registered at least two fouls in five out of six matches.

Luis de la Fuente’s team are a strong pressing side, which often sees Zubimendi stick tight to opposition attackers, aiming to win the ball high up the field.

Last time out against Denmark, the Real Sociedad man was heavily involved in duels, registering two fouls in total to go along with three tackles. It should be no different in Copenhagen.

Dani Olmo was a standout performer for Spain at Euro 2024, as he picked up three goals in total, finishing as the joint top-scorer in the competition.

That was even despite managing just four starts in the tournament.

Olmo finished with an average of 3.55 shots per 90 in the competition, one of the highest in the Spain squad.

Since then, he has had an injury-hit campaign, only playing one Nations League game so far.

However, with Lamine Yamal sidelined here, Olmo is set to assume a large attacking responsibility, and should be heavily involved going forward. He will likely act as a direct replacement for his Barcelona teammate on the right-wing.

Joachim Andersen missed the last couple of international fixtures, but has been in solid form for Fulham, so looks set to recover his spot as the right-sided centre back alongside Jannik Vestergaard and Victor Nelsson.

Rasmus Kristensen took his place in the lineup in the reverse fixture against Spain, registering two fouls.

Andersen made a foul in all four Euro 2024 games for Denmark, as he is afforded more freedom to be aggressive in a back three system.

He extended that streak, making two fouls against Switzerland, and one foul against Serbia in the Nations League.

He should find duels against the likes of Alvaro Morata, Dani Olmo and Nico Williams, so is set for a busy night in Copenhagen.

Spain picked up just a single yellow card against Denmark last time out, as the Danes found themselves penned into their defensive third for the majority of the match, struggling to push forward.

However, they have fared much better at home in the Nations League so far, and have seen an uptick in opposition cards. Switzerland saw five yellow cards in total, while Nico Elvedi and Granit Xhaka were sent off.

Then, Serbia were awarded three yellow cards.  Similarly, Spain have seen an uptick in cards during away games, with five cards against Serbia and two against Switzerland, clearing this line in both.

When playing at home, however, the Spaniards have seen just one yellow card in games against Denmark and Serbia, respectively.

Alvaro Morata has been a staple of the Spanish pressing system, leading from the front as the first line of defence.

At Euro 2024, he made two or more fouls in five out of six games, only failing against England in the final.

He has continued that record into the proceeding Nations League games. After missing the first two league games with an injury, he returned to commit exactly two fouls in back-to-back games against Denmark and Serbia.

He contested eight duels in that game, and even made a tackle, highlighting the good matchup against Denmark.

The AC Milan man looks set to captain his nation in Copenhagen, and is one to watch for infringements.

Fabian Ruiz has registered nine shots across his four Nations League appearances so far, averaging 2.25  shots per game.

Ruiz has taken six of his nine shots from inside the box, highlighting how the midfielder often pushes forward, creating overloads in the opposition penalty area. As Zubimendi sits deeper, Ruiz is able to find himself in promising positions.

It was a similar story at Euro 2024, as the PSG man accumulated an average of 2.82 shots per 90, landing two or more efforts in five out of six games.

He scored two goals for his nation, and was one of the standout performers. Ruiz only failed to register two shots against Croatia in the first game of the competition, as La Roja cruised to a 3-0 victory.

Luis de la Fuente’s side were utterly dominant last time out against Denmark, limiting their opponents to just three shots in total.

Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg accounted for one of those shots, which was a speculative effort from distance.

The Marseille man got on the scoresheet in the first group stage game against Switzerland, and has managed at least one effort in three out of four international games this campaign.

His average of 1.38 shots per game since the Euros is only bettered by Christian Eriksen, a testament to the attacking freedom he is afforded.

Spain will likely limit clear-cut chances in Copenhagen, leading to longshots or efforts from set-pieces. Hojbjerg is a threat from both, making him a target here.
