Hosts and tournament favorites, Germany will welcome Denmark in the next step of its journey in the UEFA Euro Cup 2024. Despite the fixture being labeled as a walk in the park for the Germans, Julian Nagelsmann will be wary of the threat that the Danes can offer if Germany takes the foot off the gas. Both nations are unbeaten in their respective last seven outings.
Germany’s start to the European Championship could not have been more glorious than the 5-1 victory over Scotland. Since then, the levels in the performances have witnessed an evident dip which has concerned a section of the supporters. Naglesmann, though, was satisfied with his side’s displays so far and was content with the fact that Die Mannschaft arrived at the round of 16 stage with their feet on the ground.
There were several positives as well as questions to be asked about Denmark’s proceedings in the group stage. While enjoying an unbeaten run was definitely a big boost, Kasper Hjulmand will be worried that none of the three matchdays could yield a victory. Deficiencies in front of goal were a big point to be worked upon for Denmark. The Euro 2020 semi-finalists will need to rectify these deficits against Germany to stand a chance at progress.
Germany vs Denmark: Probable line-ups
Julian Nagelsmann’s bold call of naming his strongest eleven against Switzerland on matchday three when qualification was a done deal has cost him the availability of central defender, Jonathan Tah. His partner, Antonio Rudiger suffered a muscle strain in his thigh in the last game but should be able to make it against Denmark. In any case, Nico Schlotterbeck is expected to take the field in the absence of Tah.
As for Denmark, Morten Hjulmand will miss out due to suspension. Fortunately, the Danes are reportedly devoid of any fitness or injury woes. Rasmus Højlund will continue to lead the line for Denmark with his club teammate, Christian Eriksen operating behind him in a free role. Coach, Kasper Hjulmand is expected to go in with his usual 3-4-2-1 setup against Germany.
Germany’s probable line-up: Neuer; Kimmich, Rudiger, Schlotterbeck, Mittelstadt; Andrich, Kroos, Musiala, Gundogan, Wirtz; Havertz
Denmark’s probable line-up: Schmeichel; Andersen, Vestergaard, Christensen; Bah, Nørgaard, Højbjerg, Mæhle; Wind, Eriksen; Højlund
