Denmark - England (first half): 0-0

Lineup for Denmark - England match - Graphics: AN BINH

England entered Euro 2024 with the most expensive squad. Transfermarkt valued them at 1.52 billion euros. But their performance on the opening day against Serbia did not match that.

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 let their opponents put pressure on them.

With a squad of world- class players, that performance is unlikely to satisfy fans.

Denmark also had a less than successful opening day. They played well at times, but in the end, fatal mistakes caused them to only draw 1-1 with Slovenia.

Denmark were happy when Christian Eriksen scored. At Euro 2020, the midfielder suffered a stroke and was thought to have passed away. However, he was treated in time and made a spectacular comeback at Euro 2024.

In theory, England is rated higher. The bookmaker offers the "Three Lions" a handicap of 3/4 (0.75) and an over/under of 2 1/4 (2.25).

Experts also rate Gareth Southgate's team higher. Opta said they have a 54.5% chance of winning, compared to Denmark's 20.6%.

According to Sportmole, England's winning percentage is 40.04%, while Denmark's is 33.79%. This site predicts the "Three Lions" will win 1-0.

However, the England team's performance in the group stage 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 the second match of Group C Euro 2024. In the context that Denmark is determined to play defensively, 3 points will be even more difficult.

A 1-1 draw is considered the most likely, with a rate of 12.44%.

Expert's choice: Choose Denmark with a handicap of 3/4, the match will have 2 goals or less.

Prediction: England draw 1-1 with Denmark.
