Wales v Denmark Prediction: 13/8 hosts to upset Danes in Cardiff

Wales started their Nations League Group A4 campaign with defeats to nil away from home against Portugal and Denmark.

However, the Welsh have a proud home record under Craig Bellamy and they bounced back by beating 10-man Norway 2-1 in Cardiff last week.

They finish this set of international fixtures with Sunday's home match against Denmark, who lost 4-2 to Portugal in Copenhagen on matchday three.

Wales v Denmark Tips Summary

Best Bet - Wales draw no bet @ 13/8
Alternative Bet - Jordan James to be booked @ 15/4
Bet Builder - Both teams to score, Neco Williams 1+ shot on target & over 2.5 cards @ 25/4

Wales v Denmark

Wales v Denmark Prediction

Best Bet - Wales draw no bet @ 13/8

Home advantage is a significant factor for Wales, who have lost only one of their last 16 matches at the Cardiff City Stadium.

That was a 4-2 World Cup qualifying defeat to Belgium, who went on to run Spain close in the quarter-finals of the tournament.

After losing 1-0 in Portugal and 2-0 in Denmark in their first two Nations League matches, Wales were again inspired by their home supporters on Thursday.

They came from behind to win 2-1 against Norway – another team who reached the World Cup quarter-finals – and appeal with the draw no bet against Denmark on Sunday.

Wales were undoubtedly helped by Norway being reduced to 10 men in the first minute of the second half.

But they impressively capitalised on Torbjorn Heggem's red card to defeat a side containing Manchester City striker Erling Haaland and Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard.

Wales can avenge their 2-0 defeat in Denmark on matchday two.

That win featured a rare clean sheet for the Danes, who lost 3-2 in Norway in their Group A4 opener before a 4-2 home defeat to Portugal on Thursday.

Denmark made a mess of their World Cup qualifying campaign. They had one foot on the plane to North America before drawing 2-2 at home to Belarus and losing 4-2 in Scotland in their last two group fixtures.

Those results sent them into the play-offs, where they lost on penalties against the Czech Republic after a 2-2 draw in the final.

Denmark's defensive problems have continued in the Nations League, and they look like vulnerable favourites against a Wales side that does its best work on home turf.

Alternative Bet - Jordan James to be booked @ 15/4

Jordan James was one of three Wales players booked in the win over Norway and he can expect another busy shift against Denmark.

James has been cautioned in 10 of his last 27 international appearances and he also picks up plenty of yellow cards at club level.

The industrious midfielder was booked 16 times in his last two full Championship campaigns for Birmingham and Leicester.

James picked up another card for his new club, Wolves, in last month's defeat at second-tier title favourites West Ham.

Wales v Denmark Bet Builder Tip

  • Both teams to score

  • Neco Williams 1+ shot on target

  • Over 2.5 cards

Pays 25/4

Both teams to score looks a good bet after Wales's 2-1 win over Norway last week. It was also a winner in six of Denmark's last eight competitive internationals.

A free kick from Neco Williams sealed Wales's victory against Norway. The attack-minded full-back has had a shot on target in three of his last four games for Nottingham Forest and the national team.

Finally, back over 2.5 cards on Sunday night, after the pair's meeting in Copenhagen featured three yellow cards.
