Slovenia vs Denmark predictions

Slovenia and Denmark are two of England’s Group C rivals and, with clashes against the Three Lions and Serbia to come, this pair will want to hit the ground running at the Stuttgart Arena.

The teams are becoming familiar foes having come through the same qualifying group, in which they finished with near-identical records, each collecting 22 points from their ten matches.

Both won seven, drew one and lost two of their those outings to eclipse the efforts of Finland, Kazakhstan, Northern Ireland and San Marino, but Denmark topped the group courtesy of their better head-to-head record.

Their opening qualifying clash in Slovenia in June ended 1-1 before the Danes triumphed 2-1 in Copenhagen in November with goals from Joakim Maehle and Thomas Delaney.

Denmark, courtesy of a stronger European Championship pedigree which has seen them crowned champions in 1992 and semi-finalists three years ago, are odds-on to frank that form.

However, Slovenia have a world-class goalkeeper in Atletico Madrid ace Jan Oblak and have unearthed an attacking gem in lively Leipzig forward Benjamin Sesko, who has fired home 11 goals from his opening 29 caps.

The Slovenes are making their first European Championship appearance since 2000 but they are an improving team and only two defeats in their last 21 internationals shows you discount them at your peril.

In March, Matjaz Kek’s men recorded a 2-0 friendly success over a Portugal side containing Cristiano Ronaldo and Joao Felix, while their final two warm-up games featured a 2-1 victory over Armenia and a 1-1 draw with Bulgaria.

Denmark have also had a strong preparation, beating Sweden 2-1 in Copenhagen and easing past Norway 3-1 in Brondby.

Kasper Hjulmand has a heap of Bundesliga and Premier League talent at his disposal and his side look more potent than in previous years with Manchester United’s Rasmus Hojlund, whose 14 caps have featured seven goals, leading the line.

The Danes are in pretty high spirits, having won eight of their last ten internationals, and two confident teams who will back themselves to get the job done should provide the right ingredients for a free-flowing contest.

With both teams netting in their two qualifying encounters, that is a bet that appeals once more at odds-against. Both teams have scored in five of Slovenia’s last seven internationals and in five of Denmark’s last eight.

Key stat

Both teams have scored in four of Denmark's last five matches at European Championship finals.
