Denmark vs Serbia Prediction & Betting Tips (25 June)

Denmark reached the final four in the previous edition. Beaten by England, he returned to the Kingdom selection on Thursday evening as part of the 2nd day and already a crucial match for the continuation of the Danish adventure since a defeat would almost condemn it to early leave towards Cancun. And yes, the Danes did not do better than a draw on the first day against Slovenia 1-1 despite opening the score. Well, let's still note that the Rouge et Blanc retained their chance of qualifying for the round of 16 by having earned a point against the Three Lions 1-1, coming back to score a banger from Hujlmand, the first goal in the selection. As a reminder, they have only conceded one defeat in their last 14 matches in all competitions, on the final day of the qualifying phase against Northern Ireland 2-0. A defeat which did not disrupt their ranking since the Danish Dynamite remained leader of their group by the same number of points as Slovenia. Furthermore, the Danes were undefeated in 2024 with notably three successes in four friendly matches against the modest selection of the Faroe Islands 2-0, against Sweden 2-1 and against Erling Haaland's Norway at the start of June in preparation 3- 1.

One foot and 4 toes on vacation, Serbia, Thursday evening, against Slovenia got a last breath to hope to qualify for the 8th final by gleaning the point of the draw at the final buzzer on a header from Jovic from a corner 1-1. The Serbs, who threatened to leave the competition due to anti-Serbian chants chanted by certain hostile audiences, are ultimately very happy to unlock their first point in this group, knowing that they did not steal it in a fairly balanced match . On the other hand, to qualify, the selection led by Tadic will have to win this match in order to appear among the best 3rds. Let us remember, however, that to access this competition, the Eagles finished not without difficulty in 2nd place in their qualifying group behind the Hungarians but ahead of much inferior selections such as Montenegro, Lithuania and Bulgaria. In order to prepare for this European Championship, the double-finalist in 1960 and 1968 did not reassure by conceding a logical defeat against Austria 2-1 before recovering masterfully against Sweden 0-3.

Among the Danes, in terms of absences, Nelsson (Galatasaray) and Daramy (Reims) are injured while Isaksen (Lazio), Lindström (Naples) and Skov are simple choices of their coach. When will there be a participation for the rock Kjaer (AC Milan, 132 caps) who, like the first day, sat on the bench against England (probably physically short for this evening again). For the rest, the majority of players are at the disposal of Kasper Hjulmand and in particular the engine in the middle, Eriksen (scorer during J1), without forgetting to mention the executives like Christensen (Barcelona), Schmeichel (Anderlecht, 103 sel) , Maelhe (Wolfsburg) without forgetting Delaney (Sevilla FC) or even the more offensive elements which are Hojberg (Tottenham), the young talent of United Holjund (7 pawns in 16 sels), Poulsen (RB Leipzig), Skov Olsen (Club Bruges ) and the former Niçois Kasper Dolberg (Anderlecht) who did not come into play against the English. Previously summoned and attacked during the first day, Kostic (Juventus) was finally injured and remains forced to withdraw from the competition. He was replaced by Mladenovic, teammate of the Slovenians Sporar and Verbic at Panathinaikos and came into play in his place against the English. Otherwise, everyone is on deck for Serbia except of course the goalkeeper Svilar (Roma), the former Marseillais Radonjic (Mallorca, 44 sels, 5 goals) and the defenders Erakovic (Zenit) and Nastasic (Mallorca), who were not called up to play in this Euro.

Substitute against England, playmaker Tadic (Fenerbahce, 23 goals in 110 games) did not hide his dissatisfaction in the press. The former Ajax playmaker started in J2 behind the prolific attackers Mitrovic (Al Hilal, 58 goals in 93 seasons) and Vlahovic (Juventus, 13 goals in 29 seasons) who, however, did not shine . And no, it was the bench which brought the point of hope through Luka Jovic (AC Milan) who slammed a beautiful cross header from a corner in stoppage time thus allowing his team not to play this game for butter against the Danes. The other captains are present like the goalkeeper Rajkovic (Mallorca), the defenders Milenkovic (Fiorentina) and Pavlovic (Salzburg) and the midfielders Sergej Milinkovic-Savic (Al Hilal) and Gudelj (FC Sevilla) who do not have started against Slovenia.
