Germany vs Denmark

Euro 2024 hosts Germany begin their knockout stage campaign with an interesting clash against Denmark at the Signal Iduna Park stadium in Dortmund on Saturday night. The Germans topped Group A relatively comfortably, eventually finishing two points clear of Switzerland, with whom they played out a 1-1 draw in the final round of group fixtures. Before that were impressive wins over Hungary and Scotland that showed Julian Nagelsmann’s men are serious contenders for the crown. Jamal Musiala and Niclas Fullkrug lead the tournament’s goalscoring charts and will be keen to add to their tally in this game.

Denmark failed to capitalise on England’s failure to win in the final round of Group C fixtures, resulting in them finishing second and now facing Germany here. They’ve become quite fond of draws, with all three of their group games ending all square courtesy of two 1-1s and a 0-0 scoreline. Those stats suggest that they don’t have much in the way of attacking threats, so it will be interesting to see what the tactics are for the Danes. Perhaps their best chance of progression would be to get the game into a penalty shootout and try their luck from there.

Regarding our Euro 2024 betting predictions for this match-up, Germany are the favourites to win this one in the regulation 90 minutes. With extra time and penalties now an option though, the odds aren’t too bad. Given Denmark’s struggles in front of goal, it could pay to back Germany to win to nil. You could opt for 2-0 in the correct score market if you feel slightly bold. Jamal Musiala has been one of the standout players for Die Mannschaft so far in the tournament, he’s shown us enough to keep the faith and tip him to score first in the game.
