The second round of matches in Group C will witness Denmark coming up against England at the Frankfurt Arena. All eyes will be on the tournament contenders, England, and how they negate the threat of the Danish. The English are in pole position to secure first place in the group and earn an early qualification to the round of 16.
Denmark’s recent form has sparked high levels of inconsistency. In their last six matches, they have collected three victories but also two draws and a defeat. The Danish are on the back of a memorable European championship campaign in 2021, but their 1-1 draw to Slovenia in their first match led to many doubting their ability to go that far this time around. Nonetheless, the national team will be hungry for redemption for their defeat to England in the semi-finals of Euro 2020.
England’s condition heading into the Euros was distant from the optimal one. Gareth Southgate, who enjoys an impeccable record in major international tournaments faces potentially a huge crisis if results do not go his way in the coming fixtures. Jude Bellingham saved the day against Serbia, where England can only consider themselves fortunate to come out with all three points despite a massively underwhelming performance.
Denmark vs England: Probable line-ups
Kasper Hjulmand has managed some of the greatest moments in the recent history of the Danish National Team. He is expected to continue with his three-at-the-back setup, allowing national icon, Christian Eriksen to operate in a free role high up the pitch. The eleven that started the meeting with Slovenia are also expected to take the field against England.
England, on the other hand, has several decisions to make regarding their starting lineup. Despite the win against Serbia, Gareth Southgate is expected to alter two key areas, the pivot in the midfield and the left-wing position. Trent Alexander-Arnold might drop to the bench, after his evident discomfort in deep midfield. Phil Foden is the other who might see his role changed, considering the lack of impact from him against Serbia from the left flank.
Denmark’s probable line-up: Schmeichel; Andersen, Christensen, Vestergaard; Mæhle, Højbjerg, Nørgaard, Kristiansen, Eriksen; Poulsen, Højlund
England’s probable line-up: Pickford; Walker, Stones, Guehi, Trippier; Gallagher, Rice, Bellingham; Foden, Saka, Kane
