Denmark host Portugal at Parken Stadium on 1 October 2026 at 21:45 in a UEFA Nations League clash between two sides riding momentum. Denmark beat Wales 2-0 at home after a 3-2 loss to Norway, dominating possession and creating clear chances. Patrick Dorgu limped off against Wales, with Mohamed Daramy expected to replace him. Portugal won 2-1 away to Norway but conceded 22 shots and 2.52 expected goals in the process, a warning sign despite the three points. Vitinha is pushing for a start in midfield, while Cristiano Ronaldo may begin on the bench after Joao Felix and Goncalo Ramos scored against Norway.
Form and Head to Head
Denmark have won five of their last ten home matches, averaging 2.13 goals for and 1.14 against. They average 3.50 total goals at home this season. Portugal have lost just one of their last ten matches overall and hold a 67% away win rate. The recent head-to-head tells the story: Denmark won 1-0 on 20 March 2025, then Portugal won 3-2 three days later on 23 March. These teams know how to score against each other.

Denmark 2-2 Portugal is the main pick. Both teams have the attacking quality and recent form to find the net multiple times. At Melbet, the draw sits at 3.64, while 1xBet offers 3.72 and Mostbet 3.57. Over 2.5 goals is the safer angle given Denmark's home output and Portugal's inability to keep clean sheets on the road.
