The second start in Group C, sees Slovenia, making their first Euros entry since 2000 and having never gone past the Group Stages in International football, take on Denmark, 2020 Euros semi-finalists and winners of the competition back in 1992. While the ‘Zmajčeki’ lost just 2 qualifying games and haven’t lost in any of their friendlies, even beating Portugal 2-0, the ‘Danish Dynamite’ lost just a single game in the Qualifiers and have never lost in any of their last 6 meetings against Slovenia, winning 5 of them. As both teams get ready to meet on the 16th June at the MHP Arena, let’s take a look at the Slovenia vs Denmark odds to see who the bookies favour to win.
According to the Euro 2024 Betting odds at BetVictor, at the time of writing, Denmark are the bookmakers choice at 8/11*, with a £10 bet paying out £17.27, while Slovenia are outsiders at 18/5*, where the same £10 wager would return £46. The opportunity to get a draw is priced somewhere in the middle at odds of 5/2*, meaning £10 staked would pay £35 if correct. Although the markets have Denmark firmly in the hotseat to win, Slovenia’s 1-0 win over the US and their latest victory against Portugal, show that they have the potential to take on the bigger teams and walk away with all three points.
As Slovenia’s coach, Matjaž Kek, leans on captain and goalkeeper Jan Oblak to spur his team and their leading scorers, Andraž Šporar and Benjamin Šeško on to victory, Denmark’s own coach, Kasper Hjulmand, will almost certainly hope that captain Simon Kjær can recover from his injury worries in time, to lead fellow veteran Christian Eriksen and youngster Rasmus Højlund, who’s goal rate of 7 in 12 appearances could prove vital, to a win for their own side. Although it seems likely that Slovenia will put up a good fight on the day, we predict that the Danish side will emerge victorious by the end of the 90 minutes of normal play.
