Few would have predicted Denmark's remarkable turnaround in fortune given what happened in the opening defeat against Finland as Christian Eriksen collapsed during the game after suffering a cardiac arrest.

But everyone has been rooting for the Danes since their players rallied around their team-mate and, by putting on a show in front of a packed Copenhagen crowd, a 4-1 win over Russia in their last group game ensured they qualified as the runners-up of Group B.

Wales will become the bad guys if they end Denmark's rollercoaster of a Euro 2020 journey but Gareth Bale's side deserve their spot in the last-16 and are hoping to emulate their Euro 2016 success when they reached the semi-finals.

Wales qualified as runners-up of Group A, with a crucial win over Turkey and a draw against Switzerland enough to see them progress along with table-toppers Italy.

Here's our prediction for Wales v Denmark ahead of their game today.

Wales v Denmark prediction

After an unimaginable tricky start to the tournament for Denmark, the Danes really found their groove against Russia with a convincing display and their attacking quality evident for all to see.

They boast a highly-rated squad and contain stars capable of mixing it with the finest and Wales' defence will be in for a busy evening.

Bale always poses a threat for Wales and can create something special out of nothing but Denmark's unbreakable bond and collective quality should be enough to see them through.
