Germany have looked like potential candidates to win Euro 2024, meaning that we expect them to progress past a Denmark side that scored just two goals and mustered up three points in Group C against the likes of Slovenia, England and Serbia.
Julian Nagelsmann's men are a fairly free-scoring side, demonstrated by the fact that they have already found the back of the net eight times in just three matches, but, they do give opposing sides a chance at the back, meaning that the Germans have kept just two clean sheets in their last six matches - hence why we have predicted that Die Mannschaft will beat the Danes 3-1.
A player to look out for is Bayern Munich's Jamal Musiala, the 21-year-old has scored twice in this summer's European Championship while averaging 1.3 key passes per game - he will be key as Germany look to unlock Denmark's compact defensive unit.
We predict: Germany 3-1 Denmark.
Germany vs Denmark Preview & Prediction
The Hosts Germany take on Denmark at Signal Iduna Park this Saturday in the Round of 16 of the European Championships. Both sides had a somewhat shaky Group stage and will be looking to make a statement in the knock-out rounds.
Date: 29/06/2024
Kick-off time: 20:00
Location: Signal Iduna Park
As they look to lift the European Championship on home soil, Germany will need to pick up a win against Denmark. The Danes themselves will also be looking to continue their form at Euros dark horses.
Germany finished top of Group A after three games. The hosts picked up two wins and one draw, leaving them on seven points, two points ahead of second-place Hungary.
The hosts will be looking to win their first title on home soil, with their last chance back in 1988 finishing at the Semi-final stage. However, Germany have only gone out at the Round of 16 stage once in their history, that being their last time out against England.
Denmark finished second in Group C. In three games, Denmark picked up three draws, finishing on three points, only qualifying for the knock-out rounds over Slovenia on disciplinary points.
When making it to the knock-out rounds, Denmark tend to make it further than the Round of 16. In 2021, Denmark made it all the way to the Semi-finals, where they finally lost to England to finish their best run since their win back in 1992.
Germany and Denmark have met 28 times in their histories, with the first meeting coming back in an international friendly in 1912. Germany have the better record in the fixture with 15 wins in comparison to Denmarkβs eight wins, with the other five games ending in a draw.
The last five meetings between the two sides have seen three draws and a win each for Germany and Denmark. This fixture usually sees both sides on the scoresheet, with four of the last five games having both sides score.
