GER vs DEN Match Preview
With just two minutes left on the clock in stoppage time, Niclas Fullkrug headed in from close range to level the match against Switzerland in the final group game and stamp Germany’s stay at the top. The hosts fell behind for the first time in Euro 2024 after back-to-back wins over Scotland and Hungary but their mentality ultimately rescued them from the first real challenge faced. Die Mannschaft avoided facing the holders Italy and will take on Group C runners-up Denmark instead whom they are facing for the first time in a competitive fixture since Euro 2012. Łukasz Podolski and Lars Bender scored in the 2-1 victory back then and a similar result here will allow Germany to reach a seventh Euro quarterfinal. Having reached the last 16 for the fifth time in a row, Julian Nagelsmann's players will not want to lose the prospect of facing Spain should they progress. The team is carrying a seven-match unbeaten run and has lost just twice in the last eight meetings with the Danes proving their optimism.
Denmark failed to get any win in Group C after ending the stage with a scoreless stalemate against Serbia in the final group game. The team picked up consecutive 1-1 draws against Slovenia and England before this but it was enough to take them through to the knockout stages of back-to-back Euros for the first time. Levelled with Slovenia in terms of points, goal difference and every tie-breaker possible, Kasper Hjulmand's side managed to clinch the second spot in their group just because Slovenia’s assistant coach was booked in a game. However, avoiding the third place did not give them much favour as they will be facing the hosts in Dortmund. Denmark reached the semifinals in the last Euros and are motivated to do something special again carrying a seven-game unbeaten run as their opponents. The team also suffered just one loss from their past 15 games. The major issue for the side will be to break the series of draws with a lack of clinical edge in their play.
