Wales' skipper looks forward to Danish showdown.

Ashley Williams is confident Wales can finish the UEFA Nations League job against Denmark and secure promotion to the elite of European football.

Wales' 1-0 win against Republic of Ireland in Dublin on Tuesday provided a huge boost as it guaranteed them to be second seeds for the Euro 2020 qualifying draw in December.

It also procured at least a top-two spot in their inaugural Nations League group, and beating Denmark in Cardiff next month would see them rubbing shoulders with the likes of world champions France, Spain and Belgium in the second edition of the competition.

"We're top of the group now going into the Denmark game, and that's important," skipper Williams said.

"We know it's going to be a difficult game against Denmark, but this is what we were aiming for.

"Hopefully we'll get a big crowd because we wanted to be in this position.

"We know it will be a different test against a good team, but it's one we will be ready for."
