England FC eyes to book their tickets to the knockout stage with a win over Denmark FC, who are eager to finally score a win in Euro 2024. Heading into this match, England and Denmark are fortunate that they are unbeaten during their opener. England had a 1-0 win against Serbia, which is somehow surprising, as they are a powerhouse team. Due to this win, England are at the top of their group, and are closer to advance in the knockout stage. Meanwhile, Denmark had a 1-1 draw against Slovenia, giving them just a point, making them seat at the second of their group. Despite earning a point during their opener, Denmark needs to win here, if they want to enter the next round. The meeting between these two teams is on June 21, 2024, at 12:00 AM (GMT+8).

Jude Bellingham’s 1-0 victory over Serbia in their opening Group C match on Sunday marked the start of England’s Euro 2020 quest. Despite their early dominance, England failed to capitalize on it, leading to a nervy second half. Gareth Southgate’s defensive performance showed resilience, and England secured maximum points, two points clear of Denmark and Slovenia. They have become the first nation in European Championship history to keep five consecutive clean sheets in the group stage, having not lost at the group stage since their Euro 2004 opener against France. England will attempt to win their opening two matches at a Euros tournament for the first time when they face Denmark on Thursday.
England manager Southgate is considering whether to maintain the same starting lineup or make changes, with Trent Alexander-Arnold and Phil Foden potentially on the substitutes’ bench. Alexander-Arnold could continue in centre-midfield, but Conor Gallagher, Kobbie Mainoo, or Adam Wharton could start at his expense. Foden may continue on the left unless Southgate chooses a change in personnel.

Christian Eriksen scored the opening goal in Denmark’s Group C match against Slovenia, a day after suffering a cardiac arrest in the first game of Euro 2020. However, his goal was cancelled out by Slovenia’s Erik Janza, resulting in a 1-1 draw. Denmark’s coach, Kasper Hjulmand, criticized his team for being too passive and lacking intensity in the closing stages. Denmark, ranked 21st in the world by FIFA, has only won one of their last six group fixtures at the European Championship. The Euro 1992 winners face England in Thursday’s match, having won just four of their previous 22 meetings. Failure to claim maximum points could put them in danger of exiting the group stage for a second consecutive major tournament.
Denmark boss Hjulmand may maintain the same starting lineup for Thursday’s match against Leicester City, with Crystal Palace’s Joachim Andersen, Andreas Christensen, and Jannik Vestergaard remaining in a three-man defense. Joakim Maehle may recall wing-back, while Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg links arms with Hjulmand in midfield.
Prediction:
England FC (1.5)
