​Portugal XI vs Denmark – Predicted lineup and team newsPortugal will aim to maintain their perfect start to the UEFA Nations League when they travel to face Denmark at Parken Stadium on Thursday. The defending champions have won both of their opening Group A4 matches and will be confident of recording a third consecutive victory.Portugal currently sit comfortably at the top of the group with a maximum of six points. They began their title defence with a narrow 1-0 victory over Wales before producing another impressive performance to beat Norway 2-1 away from home. That positive run follows a respectable summer at the World Cup, where Portugal overcame Croatia 2-1 in the knockout stages before suffering a 1-0 defeat to eventual finalists Spain.Portugal team newsThe major talking point ahead of the match has been Cristiano Ronaldo’s departure from the Portugal camp. The captain reportedly left the squad after tensions increased with manager Jorge Jesus, particularly after he was left on the bench during the recent win over Norway.Ronaldo’s absence means the responsibility of leading the attack is expected to fall on Gonçalo Ramos, who scored the winning goal in Portugal’s previous match. Ramos is now tipped to start as the central striker once again.Portugal are also expected to receive a significant boost in midfield, with Bruno Fernandes set to return to the starting XI after missing the victory over Norway. He should operate alongside the in-form João Félix, who has scored in both of Portugal’s opening Nations League fixtures.Pedro Neto is also expected to provide attacking support, although recent reports have raised questions about Conceição’s availability.Vitinha and João Neves are likely to take control of the midfield and help Portugal dictate the pace of the contest.At the back, Diogo Costa is expected to start in goal, with Rúben Dias and Renato Veiga predicted to form the central defensive partnership.Portugal will hope their strong squad depth and recent performances can help them secure another important result in Copenhagen.Portugal predicted lineupPossible Portugal starting XI: D Costa; Cancelo, Dias, Veiga, Mendes; Vitinha, Fernandes, J Neves; Felix, Ramos, NetoWhen will the match kick off?The match will kick off at 7:45pm BST on Thursday, 1st October.How to watch Denmark vs Portugal?You can watch Denmark vs Portugal live in the UK tonight on Amazon Prime Video.Read Also – Ukraine vs Northern Ireland Prediction & Betting Tips – 02/10/2026See More – Belgium vs Türkiye Prediction & Betting Tips – 02/10/2026Follow the Football Faithful on Social Media:Facebook | Instagram | Twitter | YouTube
