In a rematch of the semifinal of the last EURO, England will take on Denmark on the second matchday of Group C. The game will take place at Deutsche Bank Park in Frankfurt on Thursday, June 20. England is on top of the group and has full control of the standings, while Denmark will have to look for a chance for a sensation against the top favorite of the tournament.
Denmark vs England: Initial situation
England came to the tournament as the main favorite to win, and judging by the opening game, they look like the team to beat. The feeling is that they played just enough to beat Serbia in the opener and will probably take their game to another level in the next one. Denmark will face them next after winning only a point against Slovenia, and they will have to look for at least a point before the last matchday.
Denmark Stats & Form
Denmark has been one of the most consistent teams in Europe in the last decade and came to EURO with high hopes. They had control of the game against Slovenia after Christian Eriksen scored in the 17th minute. Everything looked like they would close out the game, but Slovenia stole a point with a late equalizer. Denmark has seven wins, two draws, and only one loss in the last ten games. Northern Ireland is the only team that has beaten Denmark in that stretch, and Switzerland is the other team that stayed undefeated. Denmark has scored at least a goal in each of the last four games and is hoping to keep that run alive in the game against England.
England Stats & Form
England came to this tournament with a chip on their shoulders after losing the final at home in the previous European Championship. They started well, defeating Serbia by 1-0 with an early goal by Jude Bellingham. England was not very dominant in the rest of the game, but their defense did a great job holding the lead and winning three points in the opener. England has six wins, two draws, and two losses in the last ten games. They failed to score in both losses in this stretch against Brazil and Iceland.

Betting tip and prediction: Denmark vs England (20.06.2024)
England is the main favorite to win the title at the EURO, but if there is one team that has always been a problem for the Three Lions, that is Denmark. They are coming off a difficult game against Slovenia. After having the lead for most of the game, they left with only one point and huge pressure for the next two matches. Now Denmark will have to attack England, which is a scenario that does not look very promising. England has plenty of guys ready to fight for a spot in the team and, more importantly, for a win in every single game. Denmark will not be able to constantly defend, first because they need to score in this game, and second, no team can keep a clean sheet against England if they are not aggressive on the offense.
Denmark has a group of guys who have played together for years now, and they were so close to eliminating England in the semifinal of the last EURO. They definitely respect the opponent but are aware that they can compete against them. Given that and the potential on the offensive lines of both teams, we go with both teams to score.
