Prediction: 1-1
Switzerland
Parken Stadium will be packed when Denmark and Switzerland go head to head in a highly-anticipated UEFA Nations League game. Denmark aim to make amends for the unsuccessful EURO 2024 campaign and they are likely to fight tooth and nail against the Rossocrociati. Interim boss Lars Knudsen has omitted Brentford midfielder Mathias Jensen, while all Christian Eriksen, Pierre Emil Hojbjerg, and Andreas Skov Olsen made the cut. Manchester United striker Rasmus Hojlund has been ruled out with injury.
Switzerland, on the other hand, played an important role at the European Championship, with the team making if to the quarter-finals of the tournament. Xherdan Shaqiri has retired from the Swiss national football team and, in his absence, a man to watch in the away team will be Bayer Leverkusen midfielder Granit Xhaka. Anyhow, both teams to score betting option should be considered as both Switzerland and Denmark are likely to adopt an attack-minded approach in Thursday’s showdown.
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 (Switzerland):
While missing the first ever World Cup, Switzerland played at next four, reaching the quarter-finals on three occasions, but they were unable to repeat the success in next six appearances. Nati reached the first knockout stage in 1994, 2006 and 2014, but they couldn’t make the next step.
When it comes to their European Championship appearances, the situation is even worse, as the team only qualified for the 1996, 2004 and 2016 finals, while they automatically qualified for the 2008 tournament together with co-hosts Austria. Switzerland national team of late have profited from the multicultural environment, as they appear to have closed the gap behind top European sides and also adopted a more adventurous style of play.
The new generation is probably the most talented yet, with players like Xherdan Shaqiri, Granit Xhaka, Stephan Lichtsteiner, Ricardo Rodriguez and Valon Behrami all held in high regard. Nati now have a unique chance to try and reach the closing stages of a major tournament as their key men are either at their peak or will be there in the next couple of years.
