Wales group stage record is: 1 win, 1 draw, 1 loss and 4 points, ranking second in the group, with a 3-2 goal score! Before the start of the game, Wales can be said to be not optimistic about being able to advance in this group. After all, opponents in the same group, , Switzerland , Italy and Türkiye are all difficult opponents. Changing coaches at the last game is a taboo for the competition, and former Welsh coach Giggs was fired for personal reasons. Wales' final promotion was due to insisting on defensive counterattacks and getting valuable points against Switzerland and Turkey.
Denmark's group stage record is: 1 win, 0 draw, 2 losses and 3 points, ranking second in the group, with a goal loss ratio of 5-4! After two consecutive losses in the first two rounds, fans once felt that Denmark would end this European Cup early. A 4-1 victory against Russia in the last round not only allowed the team to get a valuable three-pointer, but also allowed the team to have the advantage in goal difference and be able to qualify directly in the group second. All of the two teams have won and lost in the last 10 matches. Wales had a slight disadvantage with 4 wins and 6 losses. The most recent match was in European League on November 17, 2018, when Denmark won 2-1.

Italy's group stage record is: 3 wins, 0 draws, 0 losses and 9 points, ranking first in the group, with a goal loss ratio of 7-0!

Facing Italy's defense, can they break their opponent's record of zero goals conceded?
In the last seven matches between the two teams, Italy has remained unbeaten with 5 wins and 2 draws! The last time we met was in a friendly match on August 21, 2008, when the two teams shook hands 2-2 and made peace. It’s a long time and has little reference value. The biggest highlight of this showdown tonight is that will Italy continue to win the opponents?
