EURO 2024 Predictions: Slovenia – Denmark (16-06-2024)

Denmark comes to EURO 2024 with undisguised ambitions. The aim is to get out of the group and qualify for the playoffs.

With players like Kasper Schmeichel, Janiik Vestergaard, Simon Kjaer, Joakim Maehle, Andreas Christensen, Thomas Delaney, Rasmus Hojlund, Christian Eriksen, Kasper Dolberg, Yussuf Poulsen, and Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg in the squad, it is no wonder that Denmark is in sight of a playoffs.

The Danes will compete in Group C, which is not the weakest group, with Slovenia, Serbia, and England. The English in this group are the main favourites for first place, while Serbia and Denmark should decide who finishes second.

Therefore, the match against Slovenia will be particularly important, as a points drop against the outsiders could determine qualification for the next round.

For Slovenia, qualifying for EURO 2024 is already a great achievement. The most notable player is Atletico Madrid goalkeeper Jan Oblak. In general, the players play in different European leagues and have much experience but not much talent.

One of the team’s leaders is the 36-year-old veteran Josip Ilicic, while Petar Stojanovic, Jasmin Kurtic, and Andraž Šporar can also be mentioned. The names are much less well-known than the main players of the Danish team.

The teams played four friendlies before the championship, and neither team lost. Denmark drew 0-0 with Switzerland, beat the Faroe Islands 2-0, Sweden 2-1 and Norway 3-1.

Meanwhile, Slovenia drew 2-2 with Malta, beat Portugal in a somewhat unexpected 2-0 win, beat Armenia 2-1, and drew 1-1 with Bulgaria.

Slovenia is not expected to do much in this group. The opponents are not easy, so the team will play without any pressure. Meanwhile, the Danes reached the semi-finals at the EURO 2020, where they lost to the England after extra time.

Three points against the Slovenians would greatly improve their chances of qualifying for the next round, at least as the third-best team in the group. A draw or a defeat against the Slovenians would complicate the situation considerably, and therefore, the odds for a Danish victory are certainly worth enough.

The teams played each other a year ago, with Denmark winning 2-1 at home and drawing 1-1 away.
