The visitors will be without a number of key players for Group A4 clash in Copenhagen
Denmark's hopes of sealing progress in the Nations League may have been boosted ahead of their penultimate fixture against Spain tonight.
The reigning European champions, who secured a top-two spot in Group A4 with two games to spare, are already without Dani Carvajal and the recently crowned Ballon d'Or winner Rodri, and now Barcelona wonderkid Lamine Yamal has withdrawn from the squad because of injury.
Having said that, it's still a strong squad selected by Luis de la Fuente, with Arsenal pair David Raya and Mikel Merino included alongside Chelsea duo Robert Sanchez and Marc Cucurella as well as Tottenham defender Pedro Porro.
As things stand, victory for Denmark coupled with Serbia failing to beat Switzerland will see them qualify for the finals. Alternatively, a draw will be enough for Brian Riemer - recently appointed as the national team's new manager - but only if Serbia lose.
It finished 1-0 to Spain when the two sides met last month, with Martin Zubimendi netting the only goal of the game 11 minutes from time.
TV channel and live stream: The game will be broadcast live and for free on Viaplay International’s YouTube channel. Kick-off is at 7:45pm GMT.
