Belgium vs Denmark Predictions and Betting Tips
The Den Dreef Stadium hosts its final game of the UEFA Nations League group stage as Belgium play Denmark. A win for either side books them a place in the Nations League playoffs, making this one a good watch for the neutrals.
We saw Belgium in an absolutely dominant mood in the reverse fixture at the Parken, Copenhagen. Mertens and Denayer netted at both sides of the half time whistle in a comprehensive 2-0 win for the Belgians. Will they make it two wins from two games against The Red and Whites?
Slim chance for the away side
With England pretty much out of the race for the playoffs, who goes through to next year's playoffs will be determined by the game at Heverlee. Two points separate Belgium and Denmark as they head into this game, as such, the onus will be on the Danes to secure maximum points.
The Three Lions halted Belgium's incredible winning run during the last international break. Martinez and Co. got their revenge over the English in their most recent game via a comfortable 2-0 win. Tielemans and Mertens were both on the scoresheet as they recorded their fourth win of the group stage.
The Danes travel to Belgium in quite an impressive form over their five games. With five wins in all, the Belgians will certainly be wary of Hjulmand's troops. In their most recent game against Iceland, they left it very late but eventually ran out 2-1 winner. Eriksen had initially fired them in front via a penalty only 12 minutes into the game. Kjartansson equalized by a well-taken goal on the 85th-minute mark setting the stage for Eriksen, who slotted another penalty in added time to secure maximum for his side.

Roberto Martinez and his troops were in a similar situation in the 2018/19 UEFA Nations League group stage. They lost 5-2 to Switzerland in the final match of the group stage thus forfeiting the playoffs spot everyone backed them to secure. However, we don't expect them to bottle this opportunity once again and as such, we believe they get three points this Wednesday.
