Portugal v Denmark: Nations League Group Game in Braga on Nov 14
Portugal will host Denmark at the Estádio Municipal de Braga on November 14 (BST) in the fifth group match of the UEFA Nations League 2026-27, a fixture that arrives as Portugal prepare for their first game since Cristiano Ronaldo’s retirement.
Portugal have won all four of their opening Nations League matches and have secured a spot in the quarterfinals, with Jorge Jesus’ side targeting top spot in the group; Denmark have won two of their first four fixtures and still need points to secure qualification, a task made harder by travelling to Braga under the management of Brian Riemer.
Portugal’s selected XI listed in the preview is: Diogo Costa (GK); Alberto Costa, Dias, Veiga, Dalot; Palhinha; Silva, Vitinha, Fernandes; Ramos, Felix. Joao Felix has scored three goals in his first four UEFA Nations League appearances and, described in the preview as an Al Nassr star who looked in great touch during the previous international window, is expected to lead the hosts’ attack; Rafael Leao is likely to miss the match because of fitness issues and Joao Cancelo is suspended.
Denmark’s squad named for the match reads: Hermansen (GK); Kristensen, Andersen, Provstgaard, Maegle; Isaksen, Hjulmand, Hojberg, Daramy; Hojlund, Froholdt. The preview notes all selected Danish squad members are fit and ready, and identifies 23-year-old Rasmus Hojlund as the visitors’ primary striker, having scored in each of his last two appearances for Denmark.
The preview describes the contest as a challenging away assignment for Denmark and reports that Portugal will be keen to extend their unbeaten run while Denmark cannot afford defeat if they are to keep their qualification hopes alive.
The match is scheduled for November 14 (BST) at the Estádio Municipal de Braga; broadcast arrangements listed in the preview are India: Sony Sports Network and SonyLIV; UK: Prime Video UK (for matches not involving England, Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland); Portugal: RÁDIO E TELEVISÃO DE PORTUGAL and Sport TV Portugal; USA: FOX Sports, FuboTV and ViX.
