Denmark impressed against England last game out, looking threatening at multiple points. Now they face a Serbia team who allowed multiple big chances in the box against Slovenia, and who have little reason to sit back if they concede first knowing they must win to go through.
The Danes won 3-0 the last time these teams met (in 2022). Eriksen has been heavily involved in all their attacking play so far this tournament, scoring once from his 8 shots, and will be aiming to get on the scoresheet again. Denmark 3 - 0 Serbia.
Euro 2024: Denmark vs Serbia Preview & Prediction
Denmark take on Serbia in the final match of Group C at the European Championships this Tuesday. The group is still open with a lot of the team within the chance of knock-out football, making a win here imperative for either team’s chances to make the knock-out rounds.
Date: 06/25/2024
Kick-off time: 15:00 (ET)
Location: Allianz Arena
Group C comes to a close this week, with England and Slovenia also looking to grab a win to shake up the group, Denmark and Serbia need the all-important three points.
Denmark currently sit second in Group C after two games. The Danes have picked up two draws so far and sit level with Slovenia with the exact same goal difference, two points behind England.
The Danes have had a mixed bag of results at previous Euros tournaments. In 1992 Denmark was crowned champions but in the 28 years between that win and their Semi-finals appearance last time out, the best Denmark could do was the Quarter-finals.
Serbia sit fourth and bottom in Group C. In two games, Serbia have picked up one draw and one loss, this leaves them bottom on one point, only a point behind both Denmark and Slovenia.
The Eagles make their first appearances in the European Championships as Serbia this summer but in the past, Serbia has made the Quarter-finals in 2000 and even further back as Yugoslavia, this side picked up two runner-up spots and a Fourth place.
Denmark and Serbia have met three times in their histories, with the first meeting coming as recently as 2014 in the European Championships. Denmark has the better record in the fixture with three wins in comparison to Serbia who are yet to beat The Danes.
This fixture usually sees only one side on the scoresheet, with only one clash in this fixture having both sides on the scoresheet - the 1 - 3 win for Denmark back in 2014.
Where to watch
Denmark vs Serbia will be shown on FuboTV or ViX+ in the U.S.
Kasper Hjulmand will likely stick with the team that granted him the opening win with Rasmus Hojlund and Jonas Wind up front, supported by Christian Eriksen from the midfield.
Serbia Team News
