On Saturday, June 29, in the Round of 16 of the 2024 European Championship, the host nation Germany will face Denmark in Dortmund. Kick-off is at 21:00 Central European Time. Predictions and betting tips for this match have been prepared by the analysts at Dailysports.
Germany
Even before the tournament began, Germany was touted as one of the main contenders for the title. After the initial matches, many have considered Julian Nagelsmann’s team the front-runners. In the tournament opener, Germany thrashed Scotland 5-1, and in the second round, they comfortably defeated Hungary 2-0.
However, Germany faltered in the final group match. Julian Nagelsmann's side was on the verge of losing the top spot. Germany conceded first against Switzerland, and Murat Yakin’s team defended superbly against the hosts' formidable attack. Neither Jamal Musiala nor Florian Wirtz could break through the organized Swiss defense. But in injury time, Niclas Füllkrug headed in a free-kick to equalize. Germany ultimately topped Group A with 7 points.
Denmark
Denmark advanced to the Round of 16 from second place in Group C. The manner in which Denmark edged out Slovenia will go down in European Championship history. After three rounds, Denmark and Slovenia had identical points (3), goal difference (0), goals scored (2), and yellow cards (6). Denmark was ranked higher solely based on better performance in the Euro 2024 qualifiers.
Remarkably, Denmark secured second place without winning a single group stage match. In the first round against Slovenia, the red and whites took an early lead but conceded late to a long-range strike from Janz. Against England, Denmark conceded first but equalized with an extraordinary goal by Hjulmand. In the decisive game, Denmark played out a 0-0 draw against Serbia, who finished fourth.
Interesting facts about the match and head-to-head history

Germany vs Denmark prediction
Denmark excels in defensive play, but Germany is the clear favorite for this match. My bet is on the hosts of Euro 2024 to secure victory.
