Wales boss Robert Page is confident his side’s “against the odds” Euro 2020 journey can continue with a victory over Denmark in Amsterdam.
Only Switzerland and Sweden have travelled more miles than Wales during the cross-continent tournament and Page said they had overcome a logistical “nightmare” to reach the last 16.
“We think we’ve got a game plan that can hurt them,” said Page, who has a full squad to select from other than suspended Chelsea defender Ethan Ampadu.
“It was about getting through, but we didn’t want to finish third in the group.
“We’ve earned the right to finish second and the credit has got to go to the players for doing that against all the odds.
“There were a lot of people who didn’t see us finishing second.”
