Our prediction for this Nations League match:
Expect an electrifying atmosphere at Parken Stadium when Denmark and Spain lock horns in an eagerly-awaited UEFA Nations League game. The Danes are eager to secure a top-two finish, but they will have a big fish to fry in Friday’s showdown. New boss Brian Riemer has called-up Manchester United stars Rasmus Hojlund and Christian Eriksen as well as Olympique Marseille midfielder Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, while there are no fresh injury worries in the home team.
La Furia Roja, on the other hand, are still without Manchester City ace Rodri, who remains in the recovery room, but Barcelona rising start Lamine Yamal is back after missing the Serbia game (3-0) with injury. As Nico Williams, Dani Olmo, and Ayoze Perez return to contention as well, we are tempted to place our bets on the European champions. Earlier in the process Spain defeated Denmark 1-0, with Martin Zubimendi scoring the only goal of the match.
Highlighted Player (Christian Eriksen):
Christian Eriksen born on 14th of February 1992 is a Danish football who plays as a midfielder for Tottenham Hotspur. Eriksen played in the youth of Odense BK and Ajax Amsterdam where he got picked up by Tottenham Hotspur after 3 seasons.
On 29th of August Eriksen got transferred for 13 million euro and is one of the most expensive Danish football players of all time. Christian Eriksen made his debut in March 2010 for the Danish national team and was the youngest player during the World Cup in 2010.
So far Eriksen played for over 200 club games for Ajax and Tottenham Hotspur. Eriksen is known for his great passing skills and game overview. In his career Eriksen managed to become national champion with Ajax 3 times and won several individual prices for being one of the most talented player of the moment.
Highlighted Team (Spain):
Historically, Spain have been regarded as one of top sides on international stage, but they often struggled to live up to the billing. After reaching the semi-finals at the 1950 World Cup, La Furia Roja won the European Championship trophy on home soil in 1964, but little did they know that it would remain their only trophy for another 44 years.
Following some disappointing showings, Spain finally returned to the biggest stage under Vicente Del Bosque, winning three straight trophies between 2008 and 2012, before crashing out in the group stage at the 2014 World Cup. La Furia Roja enjoyed plenty of success with their tiki-taka style of play, originally designed by Barcelona, with Vicente Del Bosque’s side packed with technically skilled players such as Xavi Hernandez, Xabi Alonso, Andres Iniesta, Cesc Fabregas and David Silva.
Strikers Fernando Torres and David Villa also had a major role to play in those successes, but when it comes to their famous predecessors, the likes of Alfredo Di Stefano, Michel, Emilio Butrageno, Raul Gonzalez, Fernando Morientes and Fernando Hierro should not be forgotten.
