Denmark will look to make a strong start in their UEFA Nations League campaign when they host Switzerland at Parken Stadion on Thursday. The Danes, who reached the knockout stage of Euro 2024, will be eager to bounce back after a disappointing end to their European Championship run. In a frustrating campaign, Denmark failed to win a match in the group stage, scoring just two goals in a lackluster Group C. Despite this, Morten Hjulmand's stunning strike against England was a standout moment. Denmark's journey ended in the Round of 16 after a stormy encounter with Germany, where a disallowed goal and a penalty conceded by Joachim Andersen contributed to a 2-0 defeat. With former coach Kasper Hjulmand stepping down after a tenure that included leading Denmark to the Euro 2020 semi-finals and World Cup qualification, the team will now be managed by a caretaker coaching staff. Denmark, who finished second in their previous Nations League group behind Croatia, will look to start their new campaign strongly with home fixtures against Switzerland and Serbia.
Switzerland will be aiming to continue their positive form as they face Denmark in their UEFA Nations League opener on Thursday. The Swiss, who also progressed to the knockout stage of Euro 2024, have been in impressive form recently, having gone unbeaten in eight games across all competitions, with penalties being the only blemish on their record since the last World Cup. In Euro 2024, Switzerland had a solid group stage performance, including wins over Hungary and draws with Scotland and Germany. Although they did not advance to the Nations League finals last time, their strong showing in Germany has renewed hopes for a successful campaign this time around. Under the management of Murat Yakin, who has managed to strengthen his position despite some pre-tournament skepticism, Switzerland will be looking to leverage their experienced squad and aim for top spot in League A Group 4. With a tough group including Spain, Portugal, and the Czech Republic, a strong start against Denmark will be crucial for their ambitions.
