One of the matches of the second round of the Euro 2024 group stage will take place on Thursday evening at the Deutsche Bank Park in Frankfurt. The national teams of Denmark and England will face off. Here is the expert prediction from the Dailysports team.
Denmark
The Danish national team dominated their first match of the tournament against Slovenia, creating chances throughout the game. However, Kasper Hjulmand's team failed to hold onto their lead. Christian Eriksen's precise strike in the 17th minute was answered by Erik Janža's goal for Slovenia near the end of the second half.
Thus, the second-round clash against England becomes crucial for the "Danish Dynamite," as a defeat would put Kasper Hjulmand's team in a very difficult situation. It’s worth noting that Denmark has lost only one of their last 13 matches, securing nine victories during this period.
England
Gareth Southgate's team had a predictable start. To secure a win against Serbia, the English did not need to exert maximum effort; a single precise strike from Jude Bellingham sufficed. Clearly, the coaching staff is aiming for a long tournament run, with the "Three Lions" expected to peak closer to the knockout stages.
It should be noted that the English national team has shown very mixed results in recent matches. This calendar year, the "Three Lions" played five matches, four of which were friendlies. They managed to beat only Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina, while losing at home to Brazil and Iceland, both by a score of 0-1.
Interesting facts about the match and head-to-head history
- The last time the teams met was in the semifinals of the previous Euro 2020, where England won 2-1 in extra time.
- Only one of the last five encounters in this fixture had a "Total over 2.5 goals" bet win.
- Both teams scored in only two of the last five matches.
Denmark vs England Prediction
We anticipate a very cautious game, especially from Denmark. The English, as demonstrated in their match against Serbia, are not likely to push aggressively in attack. We believe the optimal bets here are "Total under 2.5 goals" and "Denmark not to lose."
