Germany Football Team
A three-time previous Euro winner, Germany go into the Round of 16 as leaders of Group A, continuing to build on a 2024 performance that has seen them win 5 of their 7 games so far and draw the other 2. Having thumped Scotland 5-1 in their opening Group game, they then beat Hungary 2-0 before a draw against Switzerland left them with 7 out of 9 possible points and defiant group table winners.
As the host team of this tournament, Germany will be hoping to improve recent international tournament displays that have seen them crash out at the group stage in the World Cup 2018, Euro 2020 and then again at the World Cup 2022, but with newly appointed manager Julian Nagelsmann at the helm since 2023, it seems that anything is possible.
Denmark Football Team
2020 Euro Semi-Finalists and 1992 Champions, this is the Danes 10th qualification to the tournament and one they hope to do well in against a formidable opponent. Despite having only lost one in their last thirteen games, their three consecutive draws to Slovenia, England and then Serbia, miraculously left them 2nd in the table and qualifying to the Round of 16 with a lower point total than Ukraine who were eliminated with 4 points, after coming last in Group E.
Heading into the game, Denmark will hope that manager Kasper Hjulmand can get the best out of his team and exceed the two goals scored across the three games, to make it past a team that has performed exceptionally well this year and has the home-side advantage.
H2H Records
Having met 28 times before, Germany’s 15 wins against Denmark’s 8 could be taken as a sign of things to come, but with 6 games played since the turn of the millennium tallying 3 draws, 1 win to Germany and 2 wins to Denmark, perhaps things may be more complicated than first thought.
Round of 16 Match – Our Germany vs Denmark Pick
As these two teams look ahead to their game, the late-kick off at 20:00 on the 29th June, the latest 2024 Euro betting odds according to BetVictor at the time of writing, have Germany as resounding favourites with odds of 4/7* meaning a £10 bet would return £15.71, while their opponents Denmark are out at 19/4*, where the same £10 wager would pay out £57.50 if they win at the end of the 90 minutes. A bet on the sides being level – a draw – currently features odds of 27/10*, with £10 staked paying £37 if correct. With the German’s 3rd favourite to lift the cup again and the Danish languishing in 11th place, we predict that this game will see the German’s progress to the Quarter Finals and Denmark dumped out the competition, although expect a decent battle on the night.
