Expert prediction
Sture Sandø, reporter: Despite their home loss to Croatia, Denmark are still top of the group. A home win against Austria is a must if Kasper Hjulmand and his team want to compete for the top spot until the end in what is a very tight section. All three of Denmark's matches have been narrow wins or losses, and these sides will likely be just as evenly-matched as they were in Vienna. Once again, the Parken Stadium is sold out, and the Danes can expect a passionate backing.
What the coaches say
Kasper Hjulmand, Denmark coach: "We are in a situation where if we win we move to nine points. Of course we are chasing that opportunity. I would like to use the opportunity to thank our fans and the population [of Denmark] for the fantastic support we get when we play.
"I think everybody has seen what Austria are capable of doing with their power and their energy. It is always going to be a difficult game. You cannot say it is going to be the same as against other teams. They are open games, and we need to get through their high-press. When they go we need to get past it."
Ralf Rangnick, Austria coach: "We are flying to Copenhagen to give our best, and if we deliver our best we have a realistic chance of winning the game. We should have at least drawn the first game against Denmark, if not got all three points. We have to be prepared for everything and we have to find the perfect balance between creating chances and being stable in the back."
What happens after the UEFA Nations League group stage?
