Denmark are hopeful of advancing from Group 2 of League A and they will look to push closer to that dream in their home game against Iceland when the UEFA Nations League enters Match Day 5. Second placed Denmark are on seven points, two behind Belgium and face an Iceland side with no point so far in the group. With Belgium taking on England in the other game in this group, the Danes hope for an England win, which would take them top if they beat Iceland. Denmark had the perfect warm up for this clash, beating Sweden 2-0 in a friendly game that handed them a fifth straight clean sheet. They have so far lost just once in their last 21 matches and will be very confident against the group’s weakest side. In their last Nations League outing, Denmark beat England 1-0 in England, right after beating Iceland away as well. Their final match in this group is against Belgium away in what could decide the top finisher in this group and Denmark will definitely want to go there topping the group. They have scored 10 goals in the last four games and head here unbeaten in the last three Nations League games and have six clean sheets in their eight Nations League matches. Having failed to win in their last three Nations League matches at home, this presents a good chance to rectify that. They however have three clean sheets in the four home matches in the Nations League and with eight straight wins over Iceland, they will be hoping for one more.

Iceland have only managed to score one goal against Denmark in nine meetings while the only time they avoided defeat to Denmark was in a friendly match that ended in a draw in 1991. It has not been very fruitful for Iceland in recent times and after taking part in the last two major tournaments, they will miss Euro 2021 after losing the playoff final against Hungary on Thursday. The loss was a painful one for Iceland, as they led from Gylfi Sigurdsson’s 11th minute goal but conceded two in the final two minutes, locking them out of Euro 2021. Just three days after the defeat, Iceland have to recollect themselves and fight for what is already a lost cause, as they are sure to get relegated, being seven points behind third placed England, with two games to play. Iceland have no clean sheet in six straight matches and have failed to score in two of the six. Each of their last five matches has produced over 2.5 goals and they have never won a Nations League game. Iceland have conceded two or more in seven of their eight Nations League matches and have failed to score in five of the eight. They go to this game having conceded 13 goals in the last three away matches in the Nations League and scored just once.
