Portugal vs Denmark prediction

A new era has officially arrived for Portugal under the command of Jorge Jesus, and it won't include Cristiano Ronaldo. After not being picked as a regular starter since Jesus took charge, Ronaldo withdrew from the Portuguese squad and has since announced his retirement from international football.

Portugal won the Nations League twice in the Ronaldo era, and Jesus has masterminded a hugely successful group stage campaign so far. Four wins from four have left them comfortably top of the table and through to the quarter-finals with two games to spare. Meanwhile, Denmark are still fighting to secure second place, and with a three-point lead over both Wales and Norway, they currently hold all the cards.

However, Portugal already being through doesn't mean they'll take this contest lightly. Jesus will want to see his squad engaged in serious competition once again, and with an abundance of riches still at his disposal, you would expect the hosts to wind up too good for Denmark.
