Following a long-awaited victory over Norway, Wales are looking to sustain their momentum in Nations League A. Captain Ben Davies insists the squad is driven by a determination to prove they can compete at the top level.
Wales ended a six-game winless run with a 2-1 success on Thursday, marking their first-ever victory in the top tier of the Nations League. According to Davies, the performance showed a return to the foundations that helped the team initially reach this level.
We don't want to be in a situation where you feel like you're not competing against bigger teams. But I thought we laid a good marker down the other night to show that we do belong playing against these teams. Ben Davies
Manager Craig Bellamy faces squad selection dilemmas as he deals with a mounting injury list, with Karl Darlow, Joe Rodon, Dylan Lawlor, David Brooks, and Harry Wilson all sidelined. These absences force changes as the team prepares to face a Danish side currently ranked 17 places higher in the FIFA rankings.
Davies believes the atmosphere at the Cardiff City Stadium will be pivotal. After a demoralizing defeat in Copenhagen last week, the squad is eager to make their home advantage count and secure another positive result.
