Spain will look to secure an early spot in the semifinals. Prediction for the UEFA European Under-19 Championship match against Denmark
Denmark U-19
Spain U-19
In the second round of the UEFA European Under-19 Championship group stage, Denmark and Spain will go head-to-head. The match is set for Wednesday, July 1, with kick-off at 19:00 Central European Time. I’m offering a prediction on the winner of this clash.
H2H and statistical facts
- Denmark have won only one of their last three matches.
- Spain have kept a clean sheet in four consecutive games.
- The Spanish have won their last 13 matches.
- Denmark have never beaten Spain at this level.
Denmark arrived at the final stage of the tournament after a confident qualifying campaign, showing both stability and organization. The Danes navigated the elite round successfully, where they managed to challenge their rivals and secure their ticket to the European Championship.
The team stood out for their defensive discipline and rapid transitions into attack—qualities that Belgium, Czechia, and Latvia, all of whom Denmark outperformed in the standings, felt firsthand.
Their opening group-stage match against Germany was a real thriller, high-scoring and tense. Denmark lost 3-4, though they managed to fight their way back into the game several times. Despite the defeat, the side left a positive impression thanks to their character and attacking potential.
After the opening round, Denmark find themselves in a tough spot in the group table: to keep their qualification hopes alive, they need to pick up points in this second match. The meeting with Spain will be pivotal for their tournament prospects.

Spain, as always, are among the favorites in youth competitions, and they lived up to that billing right from the first match. In their group-stage opener, Spain swept aside Wales, showcasing a huge gulf in class and total control over the game.
Seven unanswered goals against the Welsh came as a shock—few expected such a rout. On the other hand, the opposition offered nothing going forward, failing to trouble Manuel González at all, making Spain’s win fully deserved.
Spain’s qualification campaign was top-class: they consistently dominated matches through possession and technical superiority. The Spanish netted 11 goals in three matches, conceding none, and cruised to top spot in their group.
At the U-19 European Championship, Spain are again proving themselves as one of the main contenders for the title. The victory in the opening round allowed them to start the group stage with confidence and relieved some pressure ahead of the next fixtures.
What’s the bet?
Against Denmark, Spain will likely rely once again on ball control and positional pressure. However, the Danes have already shown they can put up a fight even against more illustrious opponents, so Spain shouldn’t expect an easy ride. Still, there are real doubts whether the Scandinavians can take points here, so my pick is a Spain win with a -1.5 goal handicap.
