Germany vs Denmark Prediction Euro 2024
⚽ Football EURO 2024 Match Preview
⏰ 29 June 2024 - 20:00 GMT +1
🏟 Stadium: Signal Iduna Park (Dortmund)
Germany, the Euro 2024 hosts, have silenced their critics with an impressive performance in Group A, showcasing their versatility and determination. Julian Nagelsmann's side topped their group with a mix of high-scoring victories and gritty performances, extending their unbeaten streak to seven games this year (W5, D2). Their solid defense, which hasn't conceded more than once in any of these matches, provides a strong foundation as they aim to reach the quarter-finals of a major tournament for the first time since Euro 2016.
Denmark, on the other hand, is looking to recapture the magic of their Euro 2020 campaign, where they reached the semi-finals. Their journey to the Round of 16 this time has been less spectacular, with three draws in Group C barely securing them second place behind England. In a peculiar twist, they edged out Slovenia on disciplinary record after both teams finished level on points, goal difference, and goals scored.
This match-up brings back memories of the 1992 European Championship final, where Denmark triumphed 2-0 to claim their only major trophy. However, their record against Germany since then (W2, D3, L3) suggests that repeating that feat in Dortmund will be a significant challenge.
The game will be played at Signal Iduna Park, home of Borussia Dortmund, potentially giving a slight advantage to Germany's Niclas Füllkrug, who is familiar with scoring at this venue.
