When the two countries met on September 27, Denmark emerged as 2-0 winners, though neither team was particularly impressive on the day.
Wales will be desperate to prevent their opponents from winning a fifth consecutive match against them, and perhaps the Dragons will take comfort from their 2-1 victory against Norway on Thursday.
Craig Bellamy's side benefitted enormously from the fact the Norwegians were reduced to 10 men less than 20 seconds after the second half started, but it should not detract from what was an impressive result.
That victory ended a winless streak of six games, a stretch in which the Welsh lost three times, with all three defeats coming in the three fixtures prior to Thursday's triumph.
Talisman Harry Wilson picked up an injury prior to the start of the international break, though the likes of Lewis Koumas and Daniel James have impressed for the hosts and are likely to continue in attack.
Denmark should be wary about taking their place in Nations League A for granted, as while some observers believe they have what it takes to finish above fourth, third place could lead to their participation in a relegation playoff battle.
The Danish were beaten 4-2 by Portugal on Thursday, and that was their third defeat in six games, a period in which they won twice.
Boss Brian Riemer will not be able to select Patrick Dorgu, who started as a left-winger against Wales earlier in September before coming off due to a hamstring issue, and he could be replaced by Mohamed Daramy.
