Denmark Team News
The Danes were one of the pre-competition favourites, with pundits to book their place in the next round, and they’re living up to the hype after two outings. Denmark prepares for this make-or-break clash with their Euro 2024 stats showing two draws from two games after finishing level with Slovenia and then England. They had chances to win either or both matches, but seem to be growing into the tournament and will fancy their chances of winning matchday three and progressing with five points from a possible nine.
We last saw Denmark in action when they battled to a 1-1 draw with England in midweek. The Three Lions were the betting favourites to win that game with ease, and Harry Kane scored early in the contest to give Gareth Southgate’s boys the advantage. But Denmark isn’t a team that gives up early, and they battled, eventually getting their reward with a well-deserved equaliser. The group is tighter than many Danish fans expected, but the team is one win away from going through, and that’s all that matters at this late stage.
Serbia Team News
Serbia impressed us when securing a place at Euro 2024, and they were always going to play an important role in Group C. The Serbians have an outside chance of going through to the next round, either as a runner-up or one of the best third-place finishers. They could also exit the competition at the earliest opportunity, but there’s no doubt Serbia will have a huge say in how this pool plays out. Can they beat Denmark? They certainly have a chance.
We last saw the Serbs in action when they drew 1-1 with Slovenia after losing a hard-fought game with England in the opener. Serbia had chances to get level against England before slipping to a 1-0 defeat, but they went one better against Slovenia, striking late to snatch a point from the jaws of defeat. With Slovenia heading towards three points, Serbia had other ideas and snatched a leveller with 95 minutes on the clock when Jovic found the net. Thursday’s late show reminds us never to write off Serbia.
Denmark vs Serbia H2H Record and Key Numbers
Regular readers of our Euro 2024 previews already know we like to place our trust in the stats and trends. The head-to-head numbers make for interesting reading, with the Danes boasting a 100% record over the Serbs. The H2H figures show Denmark has three wins from three previous meetings and the aggregate score sits at 8-1. That would suggest a strong win for Denmark in this crucial renewal.
These nations last crossed paths in 2022 when playing in an entertaining friendly match. Denmark swaggered to victory that day thanks to a 3-0 scoreline, with the goals coming from Maehle, Lindstrom, and Eriksen. Fans would love to see a repeat performance while the coaching staff would be happy with any type of victory and scorers, as long as they get the three points and progress.
Possible Lineups
- Denmark (4-4-2): Schmeichel – Vertergaard, Christensen, Andersen, Kristiansen – Hojbjerg, Hjulmand, Bah, Eriksen – Hojlund, Wind
- Serbia (3-4-1-2): Milinkovi?-Savi? – Milenkovi?, Veljkovi?, Pavlovi? – ?ivkovi?, S Milinkovi?-Savi?, Luki?, Kosti? – Tadi? – Mitrovi?, Vlahovi?

Denmark vs Serbia Match Prediction
Serbia have had little joy so far, but they’ve been competitive and will be again on the final night. Do they have what it takes to beat Denmark? I don’t think so. The Danes have more to give, and know the draw with England puts them in a fantastic position. Win, and they’ll go through. I expect Denmark to win and both teams to score.
