Germany vs Denmark prediction: EUROPE: Euro – Play Offs betting tips on match 2024-06-28 19:00.
[p]After being all but written off at the start of the year after a disastrous run of results in 2023, Euro 2024 hosts Germany have proven that they’re genuine contenders for the crown this time around after breezing through Group A. Julian Nagelsmann’s side not only topped their group, but showed their versatility throughout too, after putting on a goal fest in the 5-1 win over Scotland, producing a clinical performance when dispatching Hungary 2-0, and displaying their grit with a last minute equaliser to draw 1-1 with Switzerland. [/p]
[p]That extended their unbeaten streak to seven games this year (W5, D2), a record built on an unwavering defence that hasn’t conceded more than once in any of those games. That leaves Die Mannschaft in a strong position as they head to Borussia Dortmund’s Signal Iduna Park for their Round of 16 tie against Denmark, hoping to advance to the quarter-finals at a major tournament for the first time since Euro 2016. [/p]
[p]The Danes will be looking to emulate their own Euro 2020 heroics, where a spirited run to the semi-finals had the football world singing their praises. The Red and Whites haven’t sparkled as much this time round as three draws in Group C were just about enough to claim second-place behind England and ahead of Slovenia, whom they ousted in a peculiar way after the two teams finished level on points, goal difference and goals scored.[/p]
[p]That left the pair’s disciplinary record as the final tiebreaker and although both sides received six bookings during the group stage on the pitch, UEFA confirmed that Denmark assumed second spot after Slovenia’s assistant manager was cautioned earlier in the tournament! Their reward is a re-match of the 1992 European Championship final against Germany which they won 2-0 to claim their lone major trophy, but as they’ve gone on to win just two of eight H2Hs since then (D3, L3), repeating that feat in Dortmund could prove a tall order.[/p]
[p]Players to watch: Borussia Dortmund’s Niclas Füllkrug knows where the goals are at this venue, although for Germany, he tends to take his time with his last six goals all coming after half-time. Jonas Wind also plays in the Bundesliga, and has proven a good luck charm for Denmark who have lost just once when he’s scored or assisted (W10, D1, L1).[/p]
[p]Hot stat: Germany have won their first knockout game in regulation time of a major tournament in nine of their last 11 attempts. [/p]
