Match preview

England won 2 matches and tied 1 game in the group stage. In the playoffs phase, they won over Germany (2-0) and Ukraine (4-0) to qualify for the semis. The Three Lions have played the last 8 matches to nil and have been undefeated for 11 consequent matches

However, Denmark may prove an inconvenient opponent for them. England have lost 3 of their last 6 matches against the Danish Dynamite and have tied once. But Southgate’s team has the youngest roster at Euro 2020 with many fast attackers. There are 3 English players in the top 15 fastest players of the tournament, whilst Denmark have only 1 player there.

That said, Gareth Southgate's men have more of a passive, sterile and even dull playstyle. They came up with 4 goals against Ukraine, who had already jumped over their heads. But this was as much as a half of all the goals scored by the Three Lions at Euro 2020. They have scored 8 goals in 5 matches, in spite of the fact that they have won 4 of those.

This playing style may be a problem for themselves, because Denmark plays actively and tries to keep the ball in the rival’s penalty area. Denmark have created 67 chances in a penalty area, whilst England have created 30 only. The Three Lions have won to nil in 9 of their last 11 matches. England to win to nil is priced with the odds of 2.50 (+250 American).

Denmark won only one fixture in the group stage and was lucky to finish second with two lost matches. They proceeded through the Round of 16 against Wales in style, scoring 4 goals for a second time in a row. And then they beat Czech Republic in a close fight.

Ultimately Denmark have won their last 3 matches and scored 10 goals in these fixtures. The Danish Dynamite have scored in 14 of their last 15 games, with an individual total of over 3 goals on average in these matches. Total of over 1.5 goals by Denmark against England comes with the odds of 5.05 (+405).

On top of that, Denmark won the previous fixture against England (1-0) on 14 October 2020. By the way, this game was also played at Wembley Stadium. But the winning goal was scored by Christian Eriksen who will not play this time due to him being in a hospital.

Latest team news and lineups

Dean Henderson, Manchester United goalkeeper, will skip this game, because he has injured his hip. Bukayo Saka and Mason Greenwood, left-midfielder and right-winger, will not play against Denmark this time because they have leg injuries.

Both teams to score — Yes with the odds of 2.20 (+120 American)
