Denmark England betting tip & the best odds for the 2nd matchday of Group C
Was the “Danish Dynamite’s” fuse too long in the opening game? After all, what should have been a successful start for the Danish team, which was packed with young superstars, did not have a happy ending. Can I promise one to the 1992 champions with my Denmark England betting tip?
It’s unclear, as the Scandinavians now lack the certainty of having three important points ahead of the important group game against the Three Lions, which would make it much easier for them to reach the knockout phase.
According to my Denmark England prediction, you should expect a primarily tough affair on Thursday.
The “Three Lions” could end up narrowly ahead again, but then probably too narrowly for a worthwhile win bet on the Brits.
This will be the fourth meeting between Denmark and England at a European Championship (3) or World Cup 1.
Denmark have not won any of their previous three matches (1 draw, 2 defeats), scoring just one goal – Mikkel Damsgaard’s free-kick in the semi-finals of EURO 2020.
Unlike the semi-final four years ago, I will be visiting the EURO betting sites for the new edition this time with the intention of placing a Denmark England bet with them for fewer than three goals scored
The Denmark – England prediction from the bookmakers
Of course, profitable European Championship bets depend first and foremost on the level of the odds offered.
Distinguishing good from bad offers is my specialty, which is why I immediately took a look at the current Denmark England odds for this match.
Before we get into a more detailed analysis, this much can already be said: With winning odds of around 1.65 to 5.75, Her Majesty King Charles’ men are clearly favored over the Danes.
Denmark – England odds: Where are the highest England odds?
Our “European Championship selection” consists of seven to eight bookmakers who are among the best in their field – and only their Denmark England odds are good enough for our considerations!
In this case, I quickly decided in favor of the odds offered by the bookie NEObet, because I can make some profitable special bets with them, as I have been thinking about this match for a few days now.
Analysis: Denmark vs England
Well, what can you say about England’s European Championship opener? The opening phase was certainly convincing and there were enough opportunities to increase the lead to 2:0 or even 3:0 before half-time.
After the break, however, Gareth Southgate’s team eased off, allowing the Serbs to become increasingly courageous.
In the end, the English team defended their wafer-thin 1:0 lead until the end, but it is clear that this was the most disappointing performance of all the European Championship favorites so far
Denmark performed in a similar fashion against Slovenia: They started the game strongly, should have gone up in between and instead steadily declined after the break.
Unlike the “Three Lions”, however, the Scandinavians were unable to successfully hold on to their lead, as Slovenia managed to draw level in the course of the second half (1:1).
Christian Eriksen may have celebrated a successful comeback after his cardiac arrest four years ago thanks to his goal, but statistically speaking his team is not doing well in the preliminary round.
Watch out: Denmark have now won just one of their last six group games at a European Championship (1 draw, 4 defeats).
This victory came in a 4:1 win over Russia at EURO 2020, which secured them qualification for the round of 16. But that’s all the victories in the preliminary rounds in the recent past
Denmark England odds analysis
I expect such a close game that the favorite odds of around 1.57 are simply not worth it.
I would only recommend accessing such Denmark England odds if I strongly suspected that the Three Lions could actually put in a convincing performance. But that’s the least I expect on Thursday!
That’s why speculating on a possible draw seems much more interesting. The win factor for a successful bet on the betting tip X is around 4.00.
In the end, however, I prefer to concentrate on a special bet that foresees a 0:0 score at the break, as a slow feeling out and back and forth within the first 45 minutes seems most likely.
Denmark vs England odds: Under-2.5-goal tip?
There are several signs that this will be a very tough affair on Thursday. After all, the Three Lions’ 1-0 win in the opening game a few days ago meant that they were barely able to create any noteworthy attacking momentum.
Watch out: England had just 12 touches of the ball in Serbia’s penalty area in their 1-0 win on matchday one, their lowest number of touches in the opposition penalty area in a European Championship match since 2012 against Ukraine (also 12).
Furthermore, only five goals have been scored in the last four meetings between Denmark (2 goals) and England (3 goals) in all competitions.
England may no longer be favorites for the European Championship
In my opinion, England will at best celebrate another narrow 1-0 win on Thursday! Unless, of course, there is the explosion of performance that the critics are hoping for.
But the impressions from the first game prevent me from being overly optimistic about this second Group B clash. Especially as the opponents could put up a surprisingly good fight in the battle for possession in midfield.
Keep in mind: Denmark successfully completed 583 passes against Slovenia on matchday one and achieved a passing accuracy of 89%, both of which are the highest figures for the Danes that Opta has recorded at European Championships since 1980.
Want to hear an almost scary statistic that will immediately make the blood run cold in the veins of any Three Lions fan?
Watch out: England have never won their first two games at a European Championship. Is this about to be a historic first?
Sometimes a good Denmark England tip is to advise you against a bad Denmark England tip!
Harry Kane of England was involved in 10 goals during UEFA EURO 2024 qualifying (8 goals, 2 assists) and collected at least one scoring point in all seven starts.
Kane has even been directly involved in at least one goal in his last 16 appearances in EURO qualifiers (20 goals, 8 assists).
And despite these figures, you should refrain from betting on the Munich striker. In the match against Serbia, he was absent for large parts of the game.
In any case, the goal odds of 2.05 are not in the right proportion to a corresponding bet on the Three Lions captain
My Denmark England tip:
England will struggle just as they did against the Serbs a few days ago.
What could cause them even more problems this time is that the Danish midfield axis is clearly superior to the Serbian one.
The result could be a game without long periods of possession and short passing sequences, which will ripple slowly along until the referee interrupts the action twice with a final whistle.
Especially in the first half of the match, I expect very few goalmouth scrambles in both penalty areas.
My Denmark England tip is therefore: There will be less than three goals in total
