England (1-0-0) and Denmark (0-1-0) both looked like the better side in their tournament-opening matches at Euro 2024 but only England emerged with the full three points on Sunday, blanking Serbia 1-0. Denmark took the lead early against Slovenia on a 17th-minute goal from captain Christian Eriksen and the Danes looked the part of heavy favorite for the majority of the game, yet they spurned multiple opportunities to pull away and were stunned by a 77th-minute equalizer en route to a 1-1 draw.
Heading into Thursday’s match in Frankfurt (12:00 pm ET), Denmark are sizable underdogs against England, who are +400 co-favorites in the Euro 2024 championship odds alongside France.

England’s odds to win Group C improved from -250 to -650 after Sunday’s results. Denmark’s odds to win the group faded from +400 to +700 when they only managed a point against Slovenia.
Jude Bellingham scored the only goal of England’s tournament-opening win against Serbia, heading a deflected cross into the top of the goal in the 13th minute. England played very defensively once the lead was in hand. There were only 11 shot attempts in the game (seven for England, four for Serbia) and four on target (three for England, one for Serbia).
Assuming both teams go with the same starting 11 on Thursday, here is how they will lineup.

England vs Denmark Prediction
England’s 1-0 win on Sunday was a telling indication of how they are likely to play this tournament. Despite having some of the world’s best offensive talents, Southgate doesn’t seem inclined to play a wide-open, fast-paced style. And that’s consistent with the manager’s his longstanding approach with the Three Lions: they win low-scoring, low-event games.
I expect a relatively disciplined, defensive approach from Denmark as well, who will feel the need to take at least a point from Thursday’s game. They will be all too aware of how dangerous Bellingham, Saka, Foden, and Kane can be on the counterattack if they press up the field too forcefully.
ENG vs DEN picks:
