Germany vs. Denmark Prediction on June 29, 2024

Match info

Germany, the host nation of the 2024 UEFA European Football Championship (UEFA Euro 2024) and the victor of Group A, will have overwhelming support when it plays Denmark at Signal Iduna Park in Dortmund. The better side – the hosts, if you ask bookmakers in Germany – will advance to the quarterfinals. The match will take place on Saturday, June 29, at 9 p.m. local time.

Meeting statistics

The current form of Germany

With two convincing wins in its opening two group matches, most predicted Germany would finish with a perfect record en route to the Round of 16. However, Switzerland had different plans and took the lead in Frankfurt against Julian Nagelsmann’s wards. The hosts didn’t give up though, and a late equalizer from sub Niclas Füllkrug gave “DFB-Team” the advantage it needed to win Group A.

Germany shouldn’t take the Euro 2020 semi-finalists lightly; they’ll need to improve their attacking play against Denmark or risk suffering a major upset. But as seen by its seven goals in those wins over Hungary and Scotland, Germany is more than capable of picking up the pace. After all, with eight goals in the group stage of an ongoing European Championship, Germany surpassed its previous best of six goals (Euro 2020).

Because Jonathan Tah is suspended, Germany is anticipated to start Nico Schlotterbeck alongside Antonio Rüdiger at center-back. Maximilian Mittelstädt may be replaced at left back by David Raum, while Füllkrug is putting out a strong argument to start over Kai Havertz up top. Apart from this, Nagelsmann isn’t expected to go back to the strategy that helped his team advance past the group stage.

The current form of Denmark

Denmark, who hasn’t tasted the sweetness of victory in any of the three of their group games, was relieved to have advanced through Group C in second place. After drawing with Slovenia and England, they needed to win against Serbia to ensure their advancement to the next round without having to rely on the outcome of the final group fixture. Although it was a tight match, “De Rød-Hvide” managed to secure a goalless draw.

Denmark has played excellent defense thus far in the competition, giving up just two goals, but it has struggled to find the back of the net. From their perspective, Christian Eriksen’s inventiveness and the attacking prowess of their full-backs—particularly when they are on the break—remain crucial.

Morten Hjulmand, the midfielder who scored Denmark’s goal against England, is suspended and won’t participate in this match. Kasper Hjulmand, the head coach, may decide to bench Rasmus Højlund, who has yet to score in his debut big international competition, in favor of Kasper Dolberg.

Head-to-head

In their four prior meetings in major international competitions, Germany and Denmark have each won twice. At Euro 1988 and Euro 2012, Germany emerged victorious in the group stage, winning 2-0 and 2-1, respectively. Denmark notably prevailed 2-0 in a group match at the 1986 World Cup and, by the same result, in the Euro 1992 final.

Germany has a 15-8 overall head-to-head record against Denmark, but in their previous nine games, both teams have won three times and drawn three times, while Denmark has only lost once in their last six meetings (won two; three draws).

Match analytics

Anticipate Denmark to be as challenging to overcome as Switzerland was for Germany; Germany will have to perform at its highest level here, matching the kind of efforts against Scotland and Hungary. If they do that, in what should be an intensely heated atmosphere in Dortmund, the Danish backline will probably be overpowered over the course of 90 minutes.

Although both teams have a great deal of experience together, Germany has that added individual quality, especially when it comes to attacking, which might be crucial. Consequently, it’s highly recommended to support the host country to go to the quarterfinals within regular time when placing a bet.

We think that Denmark is capable of scoring one but not of eliminating Germany, hence “Denmark To Score and Match Result – Yes and Germany” is an interesting bet for which BetNeptune set odds of 3.75.
