June 21, 00:00, Group C Matchday 2 of the UEFA Euro, Denmark VS England.
Points Situation
In the first round of the European Championship, Denmark drew 1-1 with Slovenia, while England narrowly defeated Serbia 1-0. Currently, England tops Group C with 3 points, while Denmark, who earned 1 point in the first round, is tied for second with Slovenia. England needs another 3 points to secure early qualification, while Denmark also has a good chance to qualify if they can get 3 points.
UEFA Euro Data
After defeating Serbia 1-0 in the previous round, England maintained a clean sheet for five consecutive group matches in the European Championship, setting a new record for the longest clean sheet streak in the competition’s history. However, their goal scoring efficiency has been quite low during this period, scoring only 3 goals in these 5 matches (three 1-0 wins and two 0-0 draws). Also, since the first match against France in the 2004 European Championship, England has never tasted defeat in the group stage, with a record of 8 wins and 4 draws.
On the other hand, while Denmark reached the semi-finals of the European Championship three years ago, they have only won one of their last six group stage matches (1 win, 1 draw, 4 losses), securing their progression to the Round of 16 only in 2020 against Russia with a 4-1 victory.
Recent Form
Since March 2023, Denmark has only lost once in 13 matches across all competitions (9 wins, 3 draws), a 0-2 defeat to Northern Ireland in the European Qualifiers. This includes an undefeated streak of 3 wins and 2 draws in 5 matches this year.
England achieved an undefeated record with 8 wins and 2 draws in the last 10 matches of 2022. However, they have lost 2 of their 6 matches this year, including a shocking 0-1 loss to Iceland in their final warm-up match before the European Championship.
Head-to-Head Record
This will be the fourth encounter between Denmark and England in major tournaments, and Denmark has not won in the previous three matches (1 draw, 2 losses), scoring only one goal, a free-kick by Damsgaard in the 2020 European Championship semi-finals.
In the last 10 head-to-head encounters across all competitions, England has a slight advantage with 5 wins, 2 draws, and 3 losses. In the most recent 4 encounters across all competitions, only 4 goals were scored in regular time (England, Denmark each scoring 2 goals).
Injury Situation
Denmark has a fully fit squad, and their manager, Hjulmand, will likely decide on Thursday whether to continue with the same lineup. As for England, Luke Shaw is likely to be unavailable. Their manager, Southgate, will have to weigh whether to continue with the same lineup or make one or two adjustments, with Arnold and Phil Foden potentially facing the risk of being benched.
