Germany vs Denmark Prediction & Betting Tips (29 June)

Germany, the host country of the tournament, finds itself in the 1/8 finals like three years ago in England where it was eliminated at this stage of the competition. The Mannschaft had a very good group stage, finishing first in their group with two victories obtained against Scotland at the opening of the competition 5-1 and against Hungary in the process 2-0 before finally coming up against Switzerland during the last day 1-1 which clearly pushed it back to its limits. We could even add that Nagelsmann's players seemed physically challenged during this 3rd day during which they had difficulty playing the game for a long time. They were also saved by the VAR and by Fullkrüg, author of the goal of the equalizer in stoppage time. The four-time world champion wants to make amends in front of his audience following his two successive World Cup exits, when he was eliminated in the group stage in 2018 and 2022. If the We count the friendly matches at the start of 2024, the Nationalelf has been undefeated for 7 matches including 3 friendly victories against France and the Netherlands in March 0-2 and 2-1 and during its last dress rehearsal before the Euro against Greece victory 2-1.

Semi-finalist of the last Euro where it was knocked out by England, Denmark then experienced a failed World Cup where it took the last place in a group within its reach . The Scandinavians have not really shone so far in this competition, not winning a single match. Indeed, they conceded three draws against Slovenia on the first day 1-1, against England subsequently 1-1 then against Serbia on Tuesday evening 0-0. Despite their 3 small points on the clock, the Danish Dynamites managed to take 2nd place, behind the English but ahead of the Slovenes with whom they were on par in this group, thanks to their victory obtained during the qualifications for this competition last year.

Author of an ultra-solid season at Bayer Leverkusen in a three-central defense, Jonathan Tah will be missing this evening. This one is suspended for accumulation of yellow cards. This is ultimately the only black point for the former Bayern coach who will otherwise be able to count on his entire group. In the absence of Tah, Schlotterbeck should be lined up, he who has not yet played since the start of the tournament. Rarely a starter, striker Füllkrug, author of 2 goals in the competition, remains a weapon of choice for this selection and it was he who was able to preserve his team's 1st place on the line. The nugget Musiala (Bayern) and the captains Gundogan (1 goal, 1 assist) and Kroos, who will retire at the end of the competition, are also present. Kai Havertz (Arsenal, 1 goal, 1 assist in the competition) is there as is Wirtz (Leverkusen). In the heart of the game, Andrich (Leverkusen) should start in the same way as Kimmich (right side) or even Rüdiger (Real Madrid) who is slightly uncertain. Neuer (Bayern) remains more than ever number 1 in the selection ahead of Ter Stegen (FC Barcelona). For this competition, the German coach had decided to draw a feature on the European vice-champions with Dortmund. Thus, Hummels (78 sel), Süle, Julian Brandt (47 sel), Nmecha (1 sel) and Marco Reus did not not been summoned.

Munich's Goretzka (57 caps, 14 goals) and Gnabry (too often hampered by injuries this season) and the potential holder at the left-back position Gosens (Union Berlin) also have were ruled out while midfielder Pavlovic and striker Werner (Tottenham) were forced to withdraw. On the Danish side, starting midfielder Hjulmand (Sporting) will be suspended for an accumulation of yellow cards. To replace him, veteran Delaney (Anderlecht) could well have his chances. So far, the Scandinavians have only scored twice in 3 matches. These goals are to the credit of Hujlmand precisely, and of Eriksen (Man United) who should well be a starter. His club partner, Holjund (17 caps, 7 goals) started the three group matches without scoring. For his part, Bah (Benfica), often injured at club this season, is gaining momentum in his right lane and he could even be started at the expense of the usual holder Kristiansen (Bologna). In the heart of the game, Hojbjerg (80 capes, 10 pawns) shines and he should start in the same way as Maelhe (Wolfsburg), and the three central hinge composed of Christensen (Barcelona), Vestergaard (Leicester) and Andersen (Crystal Palace). On the other hand, Nelsson (Galatasaray) and Daramy (Reims) were unable to make the trip to Germany, injured while the offensive players Skov (Hoffenheim), Isaksen (Lazio), Lindström (Naples) and Braithwaite (Espanyol Barcelona) did not were not retained.
