Team news and form
Portugal are the first side in this group to be through to the quarter-finals, having won all four games and kept 12 points. They have done it without Cristiano Ronaldo, who retired from international football earlier this month, and the last three wins came without him on the pitch. Three of the four wins were by a single goal. A draw in Braga would be enough to win the group, and they have a 14-game unbeaten run in competitive home internationals (13 wins, one draw). Goncalo Ramos has scored in the last three games, each time Portugal’s second goal. Joao Cancelo and Francisco Conceicao are suspended, and Tomas Araujo, Nuno Tavares and Rafael Leao withdrew through injury.
Denmark began with a 3-2 defeat to Norway, but have won two of their last three and are second in the group. Their defence is still a concern, with seven goals conceded in four games and eight conceded in normal time in their last four away matches (one win, one draw, two defeats). They beat Wales 1-0 in Cardiff in October. Rasmus Hojlund has scored in three of their last four internationals, all between the 50th and 80th minute. Andreas Christensen was not selected after only recently returning to club action. Seven of Denmark’s last ten competitive matches had over 3.5 goals.

Head-to-head – Recent meetings
- Denmark 2-4 Portugal (1 October 2026, Nations League)
- Portugal 5-2 Denmark (March 2025, Nations League)
- Denmark 1-0 Portugal (March 2025, Nations League)
Portugal have won five of the last six meetings, and the 2026 and March 2025 home games both had at least six goals between them.
Why we’re backing it
Denmark will score in this game. They scored twice in the reverse fixture, Hojlund is in form, and the side that scored first has won each of Denmark’s last seven competitive games, which makes them dangerous to chase a game. Portugal have the quality to score against any defence, with Ramos and Bernardo Silva’s creativity, so both sides finding the net is likely.
The risk is a controlled home win. Portugal need only a draw, so they could play safely, and they have conceded exactly once in four of their last six games. Portugal are missing Cancelo and Conceicao, which weakens the full-back areas, but their depth is strong, and a 1-0 or 2-0 would lose the pick. Over 3.5 goals, the Flashscore angle, is a bigger ask at 2.30, so we have it as the long shot.
