Wales vs Denmark: Numbers you need to know before their UEFA Euro 2020 encounter
Wales are undefeated in 14 of their last 16 official fixtures and have shown tremendous improvement in recent years. The Welsh side has also reached the knock-out stages in both its Euro campaigns.
Kieffer Moore has scored six goals for Wales and four of his strikes have been headers. The striker scored the equaliser for Wales against Switzerland and has also scored 20 goals in the Championship this season.
Denmark, on the other hand, have scored 22 goals in their last eight games and will be intent on troubling the Welsh defence this weekend. Yussuf Poulsen and Mikkel Damsgaard were exceptional against Russia earlier this week and will look to replicate their heroics in this match.
Denmark also became the first team in Euro history to reach the knock-outs after losing the first two matches of their campaign. The Danes suffered a shock defeat to Finland before succumbing to Belgium's superior bench strength, but a stellar performance against Russia handed them a useful boost in goal difference at the end of the group stage.
