Denmark vs. England starting lineup - Graphic: AN BINH
England entered Euro 2024 with the most expensive squad ever, valued at €1.52 billion by Transfermarkt. However, their performance in their opening match against Serbia did not live up to that valuation.
The Three Lions were only able to dominate their opponents for about 30 minutes. Their only goal also came during this period. After that, Gareth Southgate's team lost their rhythm and allowed their opponents to put pressure on them.
With a lineup of world- class players, that performance is unlikely to satisfy the fans.

Denmark also had a less than successful opening day. They played well at times, but ultimately costly mistakes resulted in a 1-1 draw against Slovenia.
Denmark still had reason to celebrate with Christian Eriksen scoring. At Euro 2020, the midfielder suffered a stroke and it seemed he was on the verge of death. But he received timely treatment and made a spectacular return at Euro 2024.
In theory, the England team is considered the favorite. The bookmakers are offering odds of England giving a 3/4 (0.75) handicap and the over/under is 2 1/4 (2.25) goals.
Experts also rate Gareth Southgate's team higher. Opta estimates they have a 54.5% chance of winning, compared to Denmark's 20.6%.
According to Sportmole, England's odds of winning are 40.04%, while Denmark's are 33.79%. The site predicts the "Three Lions" will win 1-0.
However, England's performance in the group stages of recent major tournaments has not been very convincing, especially in the second match.
Therefore, there is no guarantee that England will beat Denmark in their second match of Group C at Euro 2024. Given that Denmark is likely to play defensively, securing three points will be even more difficult.
A 1-1 draw is considered the most likely outcome, with a probability of 12.44%.
Expert's pick: Choose Denmark to be given a 3/4 goal handicap, with the match having 2 goals or fewer.
Prediction: England will draw with Denmark 1-1.
