Spain aim for top spot in the group against Denmark
12th October is a date marked in red on the calendar, a national holiday and Spain’s National Day (Dia de Hispanidad). On this important day, Spain play a crucial key clash against Denmark at the Enrique Roca stadium in Murcia, with the top spot in the group at stake for both nations. It’s a crucial match in their quest to retain the UEFA Nations League crown. Against the Danish side, Luis de la Fuente’s lads are eager to secure a victory that could prove decisive as they head into the last three games of this group stage.
It won’t be an easy match by any means, something the Spain coach pointed out in yesterday’s press conference. “Denmark are a great team, mixing exciting young and quality experienced players,” said De la Fuente, who hopes to see the best version of Spain today in order to claim the win and top spot in the group, which would move the team closer to the latter stages of the competition once again.
The European champions go into the match with some key absences, but with a strong squad that has carefully prepared for this game at the Ciudad del Fútbol in Las Rozas. As part of the celebrations for the centenary of the Murcian Football Federation, Spain have the opportunity to make a statement against a team that has won six out of six points and has emerged as one of the surprises of the season.
This is the ‘homecoming’ of a team that has captivated the whole country following their brilliant European title last summer. Spain has four points from their first two away fixtures against Serbia and Switzerland, and now they hope to get back into the habit of taking maximum points from every match they play, drawing on the strength of the home crowd will no doubt help them. With the group as it is, this is a crucial match for Spain, the kings of Europe, and you can watch it live on La 1 tonight, starting at 20:45.
