Going into the tournament, these two teams were predicted to fight for the second place in Group C, and as expected, they will play for it on the final matchday. Denmark has one point more than Serbia, and that gives them some sort of advantage in this game that will take place on June 25th.
Denmark vs Serbia: Initial situation
Both teams played a draw on the second matchday, and since that can be seen as a success for Denmark, it is a failure for Serbia. Denmark is going into this game as a favorite, and they will most likely go through even with a draw, while Serbia has no other option than to win this game.
Denmark Stats & Form
Denmark had a good start to the tournament, taking the lead in the first game against Slovenia, but failed to convert that as they allowed a late goal that left them with only one point. They played much better in the second game against England, playing neck-to-neck with the favorites and again finishing 1-1. Denmark has six wins, three draws, and one loss in the last ten games. They came into the tournament winning the last three friendly games against Norway, Finland, and the Faroe Islands. None of their last nine games have seen more than three goals, and in five of those, there were no more than two.
Serbia Stats & Form
Serbia came into the tournament with high hopes of getting back among the top teams on the continent for the first time since 2000. They lost to England 1-0 in the opener, looking for a real chance against Slovenia on the second matchday. Serbia was the better team in that game but barely survived. Slovenia took the lead in the second half, and Luka Jovic scored in the last second of stoppage time to tie the game for Serbia. Serbia has only three wins, two draws, and five losses in the last ten games. Three of their last five games stayed under 2.5 goals in total.
Denmark vs Serbia: Head to Head
Denmark and Serbia played three times so far and Denmark won all three games. The last one was a friendly in 2022, with Denmark winning 3-0. They were a part of the same qualifying group for the 2016 EURO when Denmark won both games, 2-0 at home and 3-1 on the road.
Denmark vs Serbia Odds
Denmark is a slight favorite going into this game with -140 odds going in their favor while the odds for the Serbia’s win are at 290. The odds for a draw are 340.
The total goals margin is set at 2.5 with -155 for over and -118 for under.
Betting tip and prediction: Denmark vs Serbia (25.06.2024)
This game will look like we are already in the elimination stage of the tournament. Denmark looks like the better team, and they would be good with a draw just like they did in the previous two games.
Unlike them, Serbia will have to go for a win since no other outcome will launch them to the next stage. Serbia played pretty well in the previous two games and had numerous scoring opportunities against Slovenia, but barely stayed undefeated with Luka Jovic’s header in the last seconds of the game.
Serbia has a great offensive duo with Aleksandar Mitrovic and Dusan Vlahovic, but neither of them scored in the previous two games. Serbia’s manager has to stick with them and hope that they will finally hit the net.
Serbia will not be very aggressive from the start since it will be very hard to turn things around if Denmark scores first. This game will start slow, but the pace will rise as time progresses, especially in the second half.
Given the stakes of the game and the playing style of both teams, it will take a while before any team scores, and therefore we go with under 2.5 goals in this game.
