Germany v Denmark top picks

Germany vs Denmark EURO 2024 preview

Germany will be hoping to secure their place in the quarter-finals of EURO 2024 when they face Denmark on Saturday night in Dortmund.

The hosts advanced into the knockouts as winners of Group A with seven points, following wins over Scotland and Hungary, and a draw against Switzerland.

Impressive from the opening day of the tournament, Julian Nagelsmann’s side had booked their place in the last 16 by the time they faced Switzerland in their final group game — a match that ended 1-1.

Should they beat Denmark, Germany — three-time winners of the European Championship — might have to face the likes of Spain, France or Portugal down the line if they are to lift the coveted trophy on home soil.

Meanwhile, Denmark advanced into the last 16 after finishing second in Group C with three points, two points behind group winners England.

The Danes made it to the knockout stage without winning a single match, having drawn against Slovenia, England and Serbia.

However, with a fine balance of youth and experience, Denmark will have to go up a gear if they are to repeat their impressive run at EURO 2020, where they reached the semi-finals.

Germany v Denmark team news

Germany will be without centre-back Jonathan Tah, who is suspended after picking up two yellow cards in the group stage, while Real Madrid’s Antonio Rudiger could miss the tie due to a thigh injury.

Meanwhile, midfielder Morten Hjulmand will miss for Denmark due to suspension, while Thomas Delaney should return to the starting lineup after making a cameo during their goalless draw with Serbia.

Germany v Denmark predictions

Imperious against Scotland on the opening day, where they demolished them 5-1, Germany went on to beat Hungary 2-0 before drawing 1-1 with Switzerland.

Despite naming an unchanged side for the third consecutive match, the tournament hosts lacked energy and creativity against the Swiss, perhaps because they had already booked their place in the last 16.

Nevertheless, Germany are still among the favourites to lift the trophy, paying +500 outright odds at Bovada.

After having a high-flying season with Bayern Munich, where he scored 10 Bundesliga goals, Jamal Musiala has extended his fine goalscoring form to the Euros, where he has bagged two goals in three outings.

A goal behind Georges Mikautadze of Georgia, who leads the race for the Golden Boot, online bookmakers are offering a tempting value of +240 for Musiala in the anytime goalscorer market.

Although three of the last four meetings between these two sides have ended in a draw, expect German efficiency to be at play given the much that is at stake.
Germany shouldn’t have any excuses brushing aside Denmark, especially on home turf.
