Preview
Wales face Denmark in the Round of 16 match on Saturday with a chance to seal their place in the Quarter-finals of the Euro 2020.
Both sides finished runners-up in Group A and B having secured 4 and 3 points respectively.
The Welsh side began their tournament with a stalemate against Switzerland followed by a 2-0 win against Turkey.
A loss against Italy did not threaten their qualification. They fielded a slightly weakened playing 11 against the Azzurri but put on a resilient show against them.
Denmark, on the other hand went through an emotional turmoil in their opener after the events that panned out with regards to Eriksen.
A loss against Finland and Belgium in successive matches almost sealed their exit. But an outstanding performance against Russia took place on Tuesday as the Danes sealed their spot in the next round.
The two sides faced each other last time in 2018 as part of the UEFA Nations League Group Stage match where Denmark came out victors 2-1 with Jørgensen and Braithwaite scoring for them.
Bale scored for Wales but it was a mere consolation goal.
We are set for drama as these two sides lock horn with a quarter-final berth at stake.

A similar performance to the one vs Belgium is what the Danish side will want.
