Slovenia vs Denmark Prediction & Betting Tips (16 June)

Slovenia shined during the qualifiers, finishing in 2nd place in its group with the same number of points as Denmark, who finished first. During this qualifying campaign, the Slovenes only conceded two defeats, against Denmark in the return 2-1 and Finland 2-0. For the rest, it is an excellent record of 7 victories and 1 draw for this team which is clearly progressing on the international scene. This selection will regain lost sensations since it will participate in its first Euro since the edition contested in 2000. Last November, Matjak Kek's men won against Kazakhstan 2-1 then against the United States 0- 1. Surprisingly held by Malta in March, they made up for it by beating Portugal 2-0 a few days later.

Before launching their competition, Jan Oblak's partners won against Armenia 2-1 but they were unable to overcome the relatively weak Bulgaria last week 1-1.Semi-finalist of the last Euro in England beaten by the English precisely with a score of 2-1, Denmark on the other hand disappointed during the World Cup in Qatar by not even leaving the groups, even finishing in last position in its group behind France, Australia and Tunisia. Once European champions in their history in 1992 in Sweden, the Danes, like their opponent of the day, lost twice during the qualifiers, in Kazakhstan 3-2 and on the final day in Ireland of the North 2-0, which did not prevent them from finishing at the top of the group. In March, Kasper Hjumland's men were held to a draw by Switzerland 0-0 before logically winning against the Faroe Islands 2-0. The Danish Dynamites started their preparation well by winning against Sweden 2-1 then they achieved another success against Norway last week 3-1.

For this Euro, the coach decided to do without the services of the interesting playmaker Zajc (Fenerbahce, 8 goals in 39 sels) as well as the not very prolific striker Zahovic (0 goals in 15 sels). Slovenia has many players in its ranks who play at a very high level. We of course think of Atlético Madrid goalkeeper Jan Oblak (65 sel) who is also the captain. The rear guard of this team should be composed of the solid Stojanovic (Sampdoria), Bijol (Udinese) and Balkovec (Alanyaspor) while Kurtic (Südtirol), Verbic (Panathinaikos), Lovric (Udinese) and Cerin (Panathinaikos) are candidates to start in midfield. Finally, the offensive sector of this team is carried by the formidable center forward Sesko (Leipzig) who has scored 11 goals in 29 caps and who is no longer far from the experienced Ilicic (Maribor, 17 goals in 81 seasons), also present in this group. Also pay attention to Sporar (Panathinaikos, 53 sels, 12 goals), sole scorer last week against Bulgaria. Finally, Bordeaux striker Zan Vipotnik (2 goals in 9 seasons) was also called up to a group where all the executives are operational. For Denmark, Reims winger Daramy missed the end of the season with his club and will also be package for the Euro.

This is also the case of striker Skov (Hoffenheim, 7 goals in 14 sels) and defender Nelsson (Galatasaray, 12 sels) while the attackers Isaksen (Lazio), Lindström (Naples) and Braithwaite (Espanyol, 10 goals in 69 sel) were not summoned. All absent during the last meeting, goalkeeper Schmeichel (101 sel), captain Kjaer (AC Milan, 132 sel), central defender Christensen (Barcelona, ​​69 sel), midfielder Delaney (Anderlecht, 78 sel) and the attackers Wind (Wolfsburg) and Skov Olsen (Club Bruges) return to Kasper Hjmuland's list. The Danish coach trusts the valuable Maelhe (Wolfsburg), Andersen (Crystal Palace) and Vestergaard (Leicester) and the promising Kristiansen (Leicester) in the defensive sector. In the middle, stars Hojbjerg (Tottenham, 77 caps, 10 goals) and Eriksen (Manchester United, 130 caps, 41 goals) should once again shine. The first city has also scored twice in two preparation matches. In attack, the young Rasmus Hojlund (Manchester United, 7 goals in 14 sels) announces a fairly bright future for this selection while the experienced Poulsen (Leipzig, 79 sels, 13 goals) is still there too.
