Denmark clinched the top spot of their group with a great performance and a nice away win against Wales. They did such a great job that they have no need for points from their last match of this stage, where they will play host to Ireland on Monday. Ireland did not have much luck in the UEFA Nations League so far and will be relegated no matter what happens in this match.

Denmark (2-0-1) needed a win from their away match in Wales on Friday in order to top the group in their penultimate match in this stage. And they actually did a great job there, even though the match was pretty balanced. They took the lead at the end of the first half and managed to extend that at the 88th minute before conceding a harmless late goal for the final 2-1 win. They are now at the top of the group with 7 points and nobody can take that away from them. That means that they will probably use some reserves in this indifferent match against Ireland.
Ireland (0-2-1) have been really poor in this competition so far and have already been relegated before this match will be played. In their last match they hosted Northern Ireland in a friendly match, where the two teams split the points in a pretty ugly goal-less draw. Ireland have had severe scoring problems for quite a while now, and have scored just twice in their last five matches. They have just a single point from three matches in the competition, granted after a goal-less draw in Denmark. Ireland have been really weak on the road, having won just once in their last eight (1-4-3).

Denmark destroyed Ireland in the playoff round before the World Cup this summer, where after a goal-less draw here they destroyed them by 5-1 on the road. This will be quite an indifferent match between the two sides, but I have to go with the home team here who will look to remain undefeated for the 17th consecutive match.
