Slovenia national football team have progressed through the knockout stages of a major tournament. They have been drawn alongside Denmark, England and Serbia. Both Denmark and Slovenia have met six times in their histories and Slovenia are yet to secure a win against the Danes. Surprisingly, Slovenia have never won a match in the European Championships.

Slovenia vs Denmark Prediction

Slovenia national football team is hoping to make a deep run into their first-ever European Championships since 200, as they have produced strong displays in their last two pre-tournament friendlies. They will enter this game on the back of a 1-1 draw with Bulgaria and will look to get on the front foot on Sunday afternoon.

Denmark national football team, meanwhile, topped their group in the European qualification last year. There were not much separating between both sides in the qualification despite Denmark taking the spot. This will be their tenth appearance in the Euro Championships and are the favorites ahead of the game.

Predicted Score: Slovenia 0-1 Denmark 

Key Players to Watch out for

Benjamin Sesko

The Slovenian striker had a breakout campaign with RB Leipzig last year where he scored 18 goals for the German side across all competitions in 2023-24. He has earned 29 caps for his national side while registering 11 goals in the process. Many Premier League clubs like Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United were vying for Sesko’s signature this summer but the 21-year-old signed a new contract at Leipzig ending their chances of signing the talented forward.

Chrisitan Eriksen

The legendary Danish midfielder has made his fairytale return to the European Championships three years after suffering a heart attack back in 2021. He was later fitted with a pacemaker to further continue his footballing career. Eriksen managed to play only 28 games for Manchester United last season. He is one of the most crucial members of the current Danish setup as the squad aims for success in Euro 2024.
