Denmark vs Sweden prediction, H2H and probable lineups - July 4, 2025
Denmark
Sweden
One of the matches of the Women's European Championship will take place on Friday at Stade de Genève, where Denmark will face Sweden. I’m offering a bet on the outcome of this clash with an attractive set of odds.
Match preview
Denmark heads into their Euro campaign in a challenging position—coming into the tournament after two defeats in their last three matches, including a heavy 1-6 loss to Sweden in the Nations League. Andreasen’s squad is still searching for the right balance between attack and defense, but instability in key areas is preventing the Danes from displaying confident football on the international stage.
Despite having a star leader in Pernille Harder, the “Dynamite” haven’t yet shown cohesive team play. A tough fixture list and the psychological pressure from previous encounters with Sweden—where Denmark were clearly second best—make this opening match a real test for the team.
Sweden, on the other hand, enters the tournament with an impressive record—12 matches unbeaten, underlining the remarkable stability and preparation of Peter Gerhardsson’s side. The Swedes maintain a high tempo and expertly leverage both individual talent and tactical discipline, allowing them to dominate most opponents.
Sweden not only consistently wins, but also displays mature, balanced football with synchronized attack and defense. Their 6-1 victory over Denmark in the last head-to-head only highlights the current gulf between the teams—and it’s unlikely that balance has shifted much since.
Probable lineups
- Denmark: Østegaard, Obaze, Ballisager, Vejle, Thomsen, Hasbo, Snerle, Holmgaard, Vangsgaard, Bruun, Harder
- Sweden: Falk, Lundkvist, Björn, Sembrant, Andersson, Angeldahl, Asllani, Zigiotti Olme, Kaneryd, Blackstenius, Rolfö.
Match facts and head-to-head
- The last meeting ended with a 6-1 win for Sweden
- Sweden are unbeaten in their last 12 matches
- In the last four head-to-heads, Sweden has beaten Denmark three times
Prediction
Sweden enter the tournament as one of the main contenders for the trophy, showcasing consistent football over a long period. Denmark, by contrast, are struggling for results and, based on recent performances, do not look ready to match up against such powerful opponents. Taking all of the above into account, the smart money is on a Sweden win at odds of 1.60.
