Slovenia vs Denmark Prediction Euro 2024

⚽ Football EURO 2024 Match Preview

⏰ 16 June 2024 - 17:00 GMT +1

🏟 Stadium: MHPArena (Stuttgart)

Group C at Euro 2024 will attract plenty of attention as it features tournament favorites England, but before they begin their campaign against Serbia, Slovenia and Denmark kick things off in the group. The two sides are very familiar foes after being drawn together in Euro 2024 qualifying Group H, with Denmark's 2-1 win over Slovenia last November helping them finish top on 22 points apiece (both W7, D1, L2).

That defeat extended Slovenia's winless run against the Danes to six matches (D1, L5), but they won't be deterred after suffering just two losses in their last 21 games overall (W13, D6). Getting a result will be pivotal to their outside hopes of reaching the knockout rounds, though history isn't on their side having won just one of nine previous major tournament group games (D3, L5).

Denmark, meanwhile, saw their disappointing 2022 World Cup campaign end in the group stage. They'll be keen to recreate their Euro 2020 heroics of reaching the semi-finals despite Christian Eriksen's cardiac arrest, especially with Group C also containing England - the side that knocked them out and the team Denmark shockingly beat to win Euro 92 despite not initially qualifying. Manager Kasper Hjulmand's men arrive in red-hot form, losing just once in 12 pre-tournament games (W9, D2).

Slovenia vs Denmark Prediction and Betting Tips

💡 Denmark are clear favorites but may not have it all their own way against an obdurate Slovenian side. Still, the Danes' greater quality should shine through for a 2-1 or 2-0 victory. For betting, simply backing Denmark to win offers the safest option, potentially combined with under 3.5 goals given the defensive solidity of both teams. A small play on the 2-1 correct score could also provide value.
