Slovenia vs Denmark Predictions & Match Preview

Slovenia vs Denmark Prediction

Slovenia and Denmark shared the top of qualifying Group H standings. The draw has put them together at the 2024 Euro as well. The two teams will come across each other in the first game of Group C on Sunday afternoon in Stuttgart.

• Denmark go into this on the back of three subsequent wins.
• Slovenia provided a disappointing performance in a 1-1 draw to Bulgaria on Saturday.
• Slovenia will miss Stojanovic, Verbic, and Blazic.
• Denmark won five and drew one of the last six meetings with Slovenia.

Slovenia enjoyed a surprisingly strong qualifying campaign. They won seven of ten matches to finish as joint-winners together with Denmark. Matjaz Kek’s men went on to claim a famous 2-0 win over Portugal in an exhibition in March this year.

Denmark will also enter this on a high following successive wins in friendlies against Scandinavian rivals earlier this month.

Slovenia vs Denmark Predicted Lineups and Team News

• Slovenian head coach Matjaz Kek expressed his disappointment with the absence of Stojanovic, Verbic, and Blazic in a 1-1 draw to Bulgaria on Saturday.
• Neither of the three players is likely to recover in time for the Euro opener against Denmark.

Slovenia (4-3-3): Oblak – Karnicnik, Brekalo, Bijol, Janza – Horvat, Gnezda Cerin, Elsnik – Sporar, Sesko, Mlakar

• Kasper Hjulmand has a much better situation in terms of injuries than his colleague.
• The Danes do not have any significant issues in this department going into the opener.
• We can’t wait to see Christian Eriksen in action at the Euro for the first time since his cardiac arrest in Denmark’s opener against Finland three years ago.

Denmark should have too much for the Slovenians

Slovenia disappointed their fans with a dismal display in a 1-1 draw to Bulgaria in the last check before the tournament. Matjaz Kek’s men were pretty much toothless in the final third against a mediocre Bulgarian team.

Slovenia also lack experience of competing at the biggest stage in recent decades, unlike the Danes.

Denmark made it to the semi-finals of the previous Euro. They seem to have caught the right spell of form in recent weeks. Hjulmand’s troops saw off Sweden and Norway in friendlies earlier this month. They are now on a run of three consecutive wins. We have the best option in backing Denmark to win at the 1.72 odds.

Slovenia to keep the game tight

Slovenia’s only chance of getting anything from this match is rock-solid defence. They need to neutralize Denmark’s talented offensive line. Matjaz Kek’s men will likely form a deep block and wait for their chances from the counter-attacks. In these circumstances, we do not expect a high-scoring contest.

Three of Denmark’s last five games ended with fewer than three goals scored. Similarly, only one of Slovenia’s previous three matches provided three or more goals. The Under 2.5 goals pick is paid at the 1.66 odds.
