England Vs Denmark Betting Odds

In their second game of the 2024 European Championships, England will take on Denmark in what is arguably their toughest task of the group and a rematch from their 2020 semi-final match-up. During that game, England took the spoils in extra time after Denmark took a surprise lead. The stakes aren't as high in 2024 but defeat here could leave either side looking over their shoulders in the final game of the group stage.

• Date: Thursday 20th June 2024 (5pm)
• Venue: Deutsche Bank Park
• Denmark Manager: Kasper Hjulmand
• England Manager: Gareth Southgate

England Vs Denmark Preview

Both of these teams were lacklustre in their opening game, England top the group after a 1-0 victory over Serbia but it was highly regarded by fans as the most boring game of the tournament so far. However, if you told either nation, they'd win the Euros by beating teams in boring 1-0's, they'd definitely take it.

Denmark were on-top against Slovenia but lost their intensity late in the game and by 90 minutes, it actually looked like Slovenia were the team who could come out with three points.

None of the teams in group C created glorious amounts of chances and it felt like each team had more to offer offensively, Denmark's goal was well-worked and finished by Christian Eriksen but outside of that goal, they should have created more against Slovenia. Jan Oblak will likely have much tougher games against Serbia and England - although, not if either side played like they did on matchday one.

It's well-known that something wasn't quite right for England on Sunday and in-large, Phil Foden on the left-hand side has been the recipient of significant negative press. Keeping Foden on the field and refusing to bring on the pace of Anthony Gordon or directness of Eberchi Eze did the Manchester City star no favours and we think Southgate will go unchanged on Thursday.

Best Betting Markets for England Vs Denmark

Under 3.5 Goals

A low-scoring affair seems guaranteed after matchday one but if either sides attacking play begins to flow, we could see more goals. We expect a rigid game here, similar to the semi-final at the last tournament.

On that day, Denmark's goal came from a remarkable free-kick but otherwise, Jordan Pickford was rarely threatened, similar to Sunday evening.

Jude Bellingham to score or assist

One potential criticism of England's man of the match on Sunday was that Bellingham almost tried too hard to win the game single-handedly. One viral clip showed Bellingham beat his man 3 times before floating a ball into the box for the goalkeeper to claim when Foden was unmarked.

However, Bellingham put England on his back like the great English players in the past and we think we'll see Bellingham have a tournament that wins him the Ballon d'Or.

Bellingham had 94 touches of the ball on Sunday and was essential to England's attack. If England are to win on Thursday, Bellingham will star.

England to keep a clean sheet

England fans go into every single tournament with the same thought process - our defence is going to let us down.

However, it can't be said that when tournament's come around, England know how to keep clean sheets. They kept five clean sheets in a row at the start of Euro 2020 and kept three in five games at the 2022 World Cup.

It is also worth noting that the only teams that scored against England at Euro 2020 were Denmark and winners Italy, then at the World Cup it was France and an Iran side that were 4-0 down at the time.

In the last two tournaments, England have drawn their second group game 0-0, we hope it's not three in a row for the sake of entertainment but Denmark could well join Scotland and the United States as a trio here.
