Euro Prediction: England vs Denmark 8 July 2021

 

The England national team will face the Danish national team in the semifinals of Euro 2020, Thursday (8/7/2021). This match will be held at Wembley Stadium, London. The winner will play either Italy or Spain in the final.

England won 1-0 over Croatia, drew 0-0 with Scotland, and won 1-0 over Czech Republic to win Group D. After that, Gareth Southgate's men beat Germany 2-0 in the last 16, then beat Ukraine 4-0 in the quarter-finals.

England's goal is still sterile at Euro 2020. Meanwhile, Harry Kane and Raheem Sterling are their temporary top scorers with three goals each.

Denmark's journey is more winding. Having become the first team in Euro history to qualify for the knockout stages despite losing their first two group matches, Kasper Hjulmand's men beat Wales 4-0 in the last 16, and beat the Czech Republic 2-1 in the quarter-finals.

The lunge of the 1992 Euro champion is somewhat surprising. Having been hit by the collapse of Christian Eriksen in the first match, Simon Kjaer and his friends have now set foot in the semifinals.

England and Denmark last met in the UEFA Nations League in October 2020. At that time, they met at Wembley. England lost Harry Maguire who got a second yellow card, and Denmark won 1-0 through Christian Eriksen's penalty.

This time, meeting again at Wembley, they will fight for tickets to the Euro 2020 final. Who will come out victorious, England who have never reached the Euro final, or Denmark, which at the beginning of the tournament was not considered to be going that far?
