Wales can still avoid relegation from League A despite finishing bottom of their group, thanks to a format change for the 2028-29 Nations League. Unlike previous editions, where all four bottom teams were automatically demoted, only the two worst-performing sides will now be relegated. The remaining two will enter two-legged play-offs in March 2027.

Additionally, the two best third-placed teams are guaranteed survival, while the next two will compete in the play-offs. Ranking is determined by points, goal difference, and standard tie-breaking criteria. Currently, Wales are the top fourth-placed side, and a victory over Denmark would boost their chances of avoiding the play-offs entirely.

A win would also keep alive hopes of finishing second, which would secure entry into the Nations League knock-outs with quarter-finals in March.
