Why beating Denmark matters to Wales' Euro 2028 hopes
Wales players in a huddle ahead of their Nations League clash with Norway



Wales ended a six-game winless run when they beat Norway 2-1 in Cardiff on Thursday


ByChris Wathan

BBC Sport Wales


There has not been much time for Craig Bellamy and Wales to enjoy their Nations League win over Norway.


After taking one Scandinavian scalp, the task is to claim another as Denmark come to Cardiff City Stadium on Sunday (19:45 BST).


Victory would mean recording back-to-back wins over higher-ranked nations for the first time in more than a decade.


It also offers an opportunity to take a huge step towards securing their top-tier Nations League status – and significantly boost their Euro 2028 qualification hopes.

Craig Bellamy has confirmed "one or two" Wales changes v Denmark after Norway win.

“If I could pick the team that started the other night? All day. Just not possible. It’s reality. Will be one or two changes because we have to.”

Ben Davies on Wales.

“I thought we laid down a good marker the other night. We really got back to what got us success and in to Nations League A in the first place.”

[Forever Blue]

Big blow for Denmark as Brentford's Mikel Damsgaard ruled out of Wales Nations League game with injury.

[montyblue]

I think we are going to beat Denmark at home with our fans and need for revenge ,lets step it up.

Craig Bellamy:

“We all sit on three points. It’s open now.”

Craig Bellamy says Wales' win over Norway has "thrown a hand grenade" into their Nations League group as they go in search of another victory against Denmark in Cardiff on Sunday

[worcester_ccfc]

I think we are going to beat Denmark at home with our fans and need for revenge ,lets step it up.

Would be a big result if we can somehow win.

Top two go through to the quarter finals of the Nations League Finals, third goes in a relegation play-off with a team 2nd in League B and bottom is relegated to League B.

Tonight’s Wales Squad Numbers :

[worcester_ccfc]

Ashford and Joel Colwill on the bench again

[Blue since 1981]

Good dont really want our lads involved way more important game on saturday and knowing our luck Joel would get injured right at the end of this never ending window

[daibloo]

Can somebody explain why Brenda Johnson gets to play instead of Dan James !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. Bellend picked both his lovechilds tonight ..... Johnson & Cullen. We stood a chance of winning this match. Just simply don't understand his menatality

[montyblue]

Johnson laziest player i know of he's a shocker how the hell he gets into a,starting 11 is beyond me .

[ORCHARD BLUEBIRD]

would love to see Cian get a run out!!!

[llan bluebird]

This 3-week format doesn't suit the smaller nations that struggle to rotate. Dan James is one step ahead of Issak Davies in the durability stakes,

[worcester_ccfc]

I'd love to know how many people actually buy/renew their TV license when that reminder comes up during every football match on the BBC, not many I'm guessing

[Forever Blue]

Wales edging the start, Denmark have lost one of their best players with injury

Down to 10 men

[worcester_ccfc]

Decent start by Wales, good tempo

[worcester_ccfc]

Referee isn't having a great game.

Cullen unlucky to be booked.

[BluebirdInBuilth]

Can someone honestly tell me what Brennan Johnson is supposed to be good at? Stealing a living as a footballer.

[worcester_ccfc]

HT: Wales 0-0 Denmark

Both teams have had chances to attack, with Denmark having the better of it.

[worcester_ccfc]

Portugal 1-1 Norway at half time

[1950]

After a decent opening 15minutes, Wales have been second best for the 30 minutes or so. The way we try to play the ball out of defence when we are closely marked, leaves a lot to be desired, and we have been lucky to not concede a goal. The starting eleven selected by Bellamy is extremely puzzling, with Daniel James being omitted for Johnson especially so. Over the last two matches we have had some great crosses, which would have been ideal for Moore. We need to make at least three changes for the 2nd half, otherwise we shall definitely be relegated. I sincerely hope that won’t happen - so come on Bellamy!!

[Forever Blue]

What a save by Danny Ward to keep Wales in this game

[worcester_ccfc]

Two brilliant saves by Danny Ward at the start of the second half
