Denmark vs England prediction: EUROPE: Euro betting tips on match 2024-06-19 16:00.
[p]Denmark enjoyed a far from an ideal start to Euro 2024, squandering the lead in a disappointing 1-1 draw with Slovenia in Stuttgart. Kasper Hjulmand’s men dominated for large periods of that contest, but a failure to see it through leaves the Scandinavian outfit under serious pressure to improve as they gear up to face pre-tournament favourites England in Frankfurt.[/p]
[p]The Danish faithful are understandably feeling the heat ahead of this rematch from the Euro 2020 semi-finals, as their side have won just one of their last six group stage matches at the Euros (D1, L4). Hjulmand’s side also failed to win a single group game at the last World Cup, though they can take heart from recent meetings with the Three Lions, as none of the last three ended in defeat for the Danes after 90 minutes (W1, D2).[/p]
[p]England may have started their Euro 2024 campaign with a 1-0 victory over Serbia in Gelsenkirchen, but a shaky second half performance left observers with more questions than answers about Gareth Southgate’s team. The manager was keen to praise his side’s “resilience” to withstand late pressure, but he was left in no doubt an improvement will be required if the Three Lions are to secure their first set of back-to-back wins since November.[/p]
[p]The omens are certainly in England’s favour as they’ve not lost a group game at the Euros since a 2-1 defeat to France in 2004. That strong record is built on the foundation of a solid defence that last conceded a goal at this stage of the tournament to Wales’ Gareth Bale back in 2016, standing Southgate’s men in good stead to build on a historically dominant H2H record (W13, D5, L4).[/p]
[p]Players to watch: Matchday one in Group C produced one of the Euros’ all-time feel good moments as Christian Eriksen scored his 42nd career goal for Denmark three years on from collapsing at the same stage of the last tournament. Having a dream season to date, fellow midfield maestro Jude Bellingham also found the net in the first round of games, becoming just the second player to score at the World Cup and Euros before turning 21.[/p]
[p]Hot stat: None of the last five H2Hs have been decided by more than a one-goal margin.[/p]
