Portugal to host Denmark at Estádio Municipal de Braga in fifth UEFA Nations League group match

Portugal will face Denmark at the Estádio Municipal de Braga in their fifth group-stage match of the UEFA Nations League 2026-27. The fixture comes as Portugal prepare for competitive action following Cristiano Ronaldo’s retirement.

Portugal have won all of their first four games in the UEFA Nations League 2026-27 and have already secured a place in the quarterfinals. Jorge Jesus’ men will be aiming to finish top of the group and will be keen to extend their unbeaten run on home soil. Denmark have won two of their first four fixtures in the competition and still need to secure qualification for the next stage. The visitors will be under added pressure as Brian Riemer’s side travel away.

Joao Felix is set for a key attacking role for Portugal and has scored three goals in his first four appearances at the UEFA Nations League. The Al Nassr star looked in great touch during the previous international window and will be expected to lead the home attack.

Rasmus Hojlund will start as Denmark’s primary striker; the 23-year-old has scored in each of his last two matches for the national team. Hojlund will be relied upon to provide goals and to test Portugal’s defence in Braga.

Denmark enter the match needing a favourable result to keep their qualification hopes on track, having taken two wins from their opening four fixtures. Playing away from home increases the challenge for Brian Riemer’s side in what the preview describes as a tough outing for the visitors.
