EURO 2024: Denmark vs England Live
Preview: Denmark vs England
Denmark vs England is scheduled for Thursday at 4:00pm at the Deutsche Bank Park as England seek to secure a victory to progress into the knockout stages of EURO 2024. Denmark comes into this game after a 1-1 stalemate with Slovenia whiles England comes into this game after a 1-0 win over Serbia.
The Danes had a less than ideal start to Euro 2024, as they lost the lead and ended up with a disappointing 1-1 draw against Slovenia in Stuttgart. Despite dominating for much of the game, they were unable to secure a win, putting pressure on them to improve before facing England in Frankfurt. Danish fans are feeling anxious as their team has only won one of their last six group stage matches at the Euros, and they also struggled in the last World Cup. However, they can take some confidence from their recent matches against England, as they have not lost in the last three encounters (won one, drew two).
England began their Euro 2024 campaign with a 1-0 win against Serbia in Gelsenkirchen, but a less convincing second half performance raised doubts about Gareth Southgate’s team. Despite praising his team’s resilience, the manager acknowledged the need for improvement to secure consecutive wins. England has a positive track record in group stage matches at the Euros, having not lost since 2004. Their strong defense, which last conceded a goal in 2016, gives them a good foundation to continue their historically dominant head-to-head record.
Head-to-head
In the last 24 encounters with Denmark, England emerged victorious in 15 matches, drew in 5, and lost in 4. In their most recent meeting during Euro 2020, England secured a 2-1 victory in extra time.
Prediction
Both Denmark and England did not perform well in their initial matches. While England managed to secure a victory against Serbia, they will need to significantly improve to live up to their status as favorites in the tournament. It is anticipated that England will put on a strong performance against Denmark in order to secure a win and advance to the knockout stage.
