Final match day of League A Group 1 in the UEFA Nations League will see Denmark take on France at Parken Stadium. Match day schedules for September 25 at 21:45 EAT.
Denmark is currently the best team in the group placed at the top of the table with 10 points, however just a point above Sunday’s opponents. Kasper Hjulmand side understands that anything besides victory over Les Bleus will consign them to a second-placed finish – a draw would not be enough as Croatia lead the way on head-to-head points.
Denmark will seek to bounce back from 2-1 Nations League losing efforts to Croatia in their previous match. In that game, Denmark managed 51% possession, seven shots with four of them on target and a goal scored by Christian Eriksen (77′). Croatia got 12 shots with four of them on target and goals by Borna Sosa (49′) and Lovro Majer (79′).
France on the other hand is not only the world champions, but they are also the title-holders of the Nations League. However, they won only one of their five group fixtures, and as of now, they are placed third in the table with five points. Coming into this game, Les Bleus is winless in four of their last six matches.
France will want another win following 2-0 Nations League victory over Austria in their previous match. In that game, France had 61% possession, 22 shots with six of them on target and goals scored by Kylian Mbappé (56′) and Olivier Giroud (65′). Austria got four shots with none of them on target.
Denmark vs. France head to head
