Germany - Denmark

The hosts of the tournament, the German national team, received, although not the weakest opponent, but quite a passable one in the 1/8 finals of the European Championship 2024, it was the Danish national team. Here it is worth discussing only one question - with what advantage will Germany win and go further and will they have enough 90 minutes to do this. But the odds are too low for a victory, and even more so for the Germans to just go through, so let's try to find an interesting bet on this match.

The German national team took 1st place in the group almost without problems, although there was still a draw with Switzerland, in addition (not yet confirmed, check the information before the match) Germany was left without two main central defenders. Particularly worrying is the possible absence of Rüdiger, he is too important for the Germans both in defense and when starting attacks for his team. And if everything goes wrong, he can turn into a center forward, as happened several times in difficult matches of Real Madrid.

In general, Germany shows excellent football, they didn't even notice Scotland, they beat the Hungarians without any problems. And I can't say that the team worked 100% in those matches, it is clear that there is still potential for growth closer to matches with difficult opponents. As I wrote earlier, the odds for victory are too low, but it is worth paying attention to corners. In all 3 matches, Germany won on corners (5-0 with Scotland, 11-7 with Hungary, 9-2 with Switzerland) and, as you can see from the statistics, they take a lot of corners.

It is difficult to say anything precise about the level of Denmark's play even after 3 Euro matches, they got too weak opponents, and the strong team in the group forgot that they are favorites and have 11 super-players in their squad and played at the level of Slovenia. Hence the 3 boring draws and 2nd place in the final. If the Danes had been in a group with strong opponents, even just average ones, I wouldn't be surprised that they would have taken the last place.

But the statistics on corners are also interesting: 8-2 win on corners with Serbia, 4-2 with England, 9-5 with Slovenia. As you can see, in all the boring matches, the Danes won on corners and served a lot. I wouldn't pay much attention to the 4 with England, since it wasn't football, but rather a training game (judging by the tempo). If we combine the individual totals of Germany and Denmark for all the games of the group stage, we get an average total of corners of 15.3. Let's make a small adjustment for the fact that Germany will have more possession of the ball and is unlikely to give so many opportunities for corners near their goal and we will find a very good bet.
