- Venue: Kybunpark (St. Gallen)
With the goal of staying in the top two positions, Denmark will make the trip to Kybunpark to clash with a struggling Switzerland team in round four of the UEFA Nations League on Tuesday.
The Nati delivered an impressive performance at this year's European Championship by reaching the last-eight round only to be eliminated by England on penalties, but they have struggled to carry that form into the UEFA Nations League and are now facing the possibility of dropping out of the top tier. Led by Murat Yakin, the team has endured a nightmare tournament campaign as they failed to add any points to their name in the opening three matches, which understandably leaves them at the bottom of the group stage, and their next clash could potentially seal their fate in League A.
On the opposite side, the Danish performance at this year's Euro was filled with disappointments as they were fortunate to advance from the group stage without a single win, drawing all three matches, but they faced harsh reality in the round of 16 when hosts Germany delivered a two-goal knockout. Fortunately, the De Rod-Hvide quickly found their rhythm and opened their UEFA Nations League campaign with impressive back-to-back 2-0 victories over Switzerland and Serbia, but their third group match brought them their first disappointment in the tournament, suffering a late 0-1 defeat to Spain.
Switzerland vs Denmark Betting Tips: X2 (DOUBLE CHANCE)
On paper, this appears to be an incredibly tought contest, but on the pitch, we see that the Danes manage to control the game effectively and secure a positive result from their Tuesday visit. The Swiss are not even a pale shadow of the team that competed at this summer's Euro, which clearly reflects the state of the table, where they are stuck at the bottom of the group with zero points from the first three matches, and a new setback would virtually seal their fate of dropping out of League A in this competition.
The terrible start to the UEFA Nations League can be partially attributed to struggles at both ends of the pitch, as the Nati were only able to put one ball in the net while their rearguard have been breached at least twice in every match so far, totaling eight goals conceded. In contrast, the Danes showed their teeth against Euro 2024 champions Spain and were just a step away from snatching a crucial point, but unfortunately, they found themselves down 0-1 with eight minutes left in regulation and will aim to shake off that disappointment as soon as possible.
Meetings with the Swiss have brought a fruitful experience for the team led by Lars Knudsen, as they remain unbeaten in any of the six clashes in the 21st century, achieving three wins and an equal number of draws. In conclusion, we feel that Switzerland is in too much disarray to anticipate a win against a Danish team that appears far more cohesive than they did at the Euros, and as such, we confidently support the guests to leave Tuesday's encounter with a positive outcome.

Switzerland team news
Despite suffering a heavy setback with a 0-2 loss to Serbia in Leskovac, head coach Murat Yakin is likely to stick with the same starting eleven against Denmark for the fourth matchday of the UNL group stage.
Monaco striker Breel Embolo is anticipated to remain at the forefront of the attack, even though he had the least impressive display among his teammates and squandered a penalty in the 72nd minute.

Denmark team news
Midfielder Morten Hjulmand of Sporting will miss the clash against Switzerland after receiving his second yellow card of the tournament in last week's 0-1 defeat to Spain, with Christian Norgaard expected to take his place.
Experienced striker Yussuf Poulsen could step forward from the first minute, as Kasper Dolberg had a very poor performance against the Spaniards.
