Match Slovenia - Denmark

On June 16, Group C will feature Slovenia and Denmark, who recently fought for first place in the qualifying round. The team lineups have remained virtually unchanged, so we can look at their recent head-to-head matches in the qualifying round.

In the 2024 European Championship qualifiers, it was Denmark that took first place, although they were only able to beat Slovenia thanks to a 2-1 home win. Before that, the teams tied 1-1 in Slovenia and showed a fairly even game, although Denmark was the favorite according to all bookmakers' odds. The balance of power has not changed since then, and what the teams have in common is a lack of stability.

The Slovenian team traditionally plays well defensively, with Oblak always being reliable in goal (though not having the best season), so we definitely don't expect any goal exchanges in this match. In the qualifying group, the team conceded only 2 goals each time, once against Denmark and the second time during a very strange match against Northern Ireland. Why strange? And what score comes to mind between the mention of the pair "Slovenia - Northern Ireland"? 1-0, 0-0, 0-1, but clearly not a 4-2 goal extravaganza. So this is more an exception to the rule than some logical outcome of the match.

Not long ago, the Danes were among the top 8 best teams in the world, but now many are skeptical about this team and we agree with them. The team has stopped developing, there are no new strong young players in the team, Eriksen is far from his form, and so is Daamsgaard. In general, we will not be surprised if Denmark does not even make it out of the group, but the presence of Serbia in the group gives a good chance for 2nd place even with a bad game. What the Danish Football Federation needed to do was change the coach, otherwise the end of the selection was absolutely disgusting: 1-2 with San Marino (yes, they missed from San Marino), 2-0 loss to Northern Ireland, in general, everything is very sad. Yes, they won against Norway and Sweden in friendlies before the Euro, but friendlies have never been an indicator of someone's strength (the England - Iceland match is proof of this).

So the match of two rather "sad" teams, where Denmark is the favorite according to bookmakers, is given only 1.73 for their victory. Therefore, we suggest playing against Denmark, but with a careful bet.
