Two nations who made a losing start to League A Group 4 in the Nations League on Thursday night meet in Copenhagen on Sunday, as Denmark host Wales.
Denmark suffered defeat in Oslo on Thursday night, as they were on the wrong end of a five-goal thriller against Scandinavian rival Norway – which saw my Bet of the Day cruise in.
The Norwegians raced into a two-goal lead after just 18 minutes, but Napoli frontman Rasmus Hojlund tied the game on the hour mark.
However, Erling Haaland bagged his second of the game 14 minutes later, meaning De Rod-Hvide left the Norwegian capital empty-handed.
Wales also suffered defeat in their Nations League opener on Thursday night, as they were beaten 1-0 by reigning Nations League champions Portugal in Lisbon.
Ex-Chelsea attacker Joao Felix scored the only goal of the game halfway through the first half, as his long-range strike squirmed past Danny Ward.
How the bookies view it: Denmark favourites
Denmark are favourites to bounce back from their defeat in Oslo on Thursday night, with bet365 pricing the Danes at 12/25 to claim all three points.
Wales are 21/4 outsiders to leave Copenhagen with the spoils, whilst the draw is 7/2.
Head to head: Danish dominance
These two nations have met on 11 occasions, with Denmark winning seven times to the Welsh’s four.
The Danes have won each of the last three meetings, cruising to a 4-0 victory in the Round of 16 of Euro 2020, as well as home and away in the 2018/19 edition of the Nations League.
Players to watch: Hojlund to score again?
As already mentioned, Rasmus Hojlund got on the scoresheet in Oslo on Thursday night, as he got Denmark back on level terms on the hour mark.
The ex-Manchester United frontman has also already scored twice in Serie A this season, and he is priced at an appealing 11/10 at bet365 to find the target.

Anything else catch the eye?
Both of these nations will be targeting all three points given they suffered defeat on MD1, and I’m expecting to see some goals in Copenhagen on Sunday.
Denmark’s last eight competitive clashes have averaged a whopping 4.50 goals per game, with Over 2.5 Goals landing in each of them, whilst five of their past six have also produced goals at both ends.
Prior to drawing a blank against Portugal in Lisbon on Thursday, Both Teams to Score had landed in each of the Dragons’ last five internationals, and a repeat pays an appealing 10/11 at bet365.
