Denmark vs Serbia Prediction: Goals from both teams expected in this game

At the 2024 Germany UEFA European Championship, Denmark will play Serbia on Tuesday at Fußball Arena München in the third round of the group stage. In their final group stage encounter on June 20, Denmark drew 1-1 with England to earn a point. In the tie, Morten Hjulmand scored a goal. In their last six games across all competitions, they have not lost. In their most recent match, Serbia and Slovenia drew 1-1 at Fußball Arena München during the group stage on June 20.

They have won two, drawn one, and lost three games in 2024. Serbia is in fourth place in the group with one point, while Denmark is in second place with two points. Right now, Serbia is set to be eliminated from the tournament, and Denmark is positioned to advance to the Round of 16. With four points, England leads the group and is in a strong position to move on to the Round of 16. Slovenia, who are now in third place with two points, can yet make it to the Round of 16. The last time the two teams played, Denmark prevailed 3-0 in a friendly match held at Parken in March 2022. Hjulmand and Christian Eriksen have guided Denmark in the Euro 2024 match.

With a single goal, they share the team's top scorer position. Once, Christian Eriksen scored the game's opening goal that set the tone. Thanks to Jovic, who has scored once in the current Euro 2024 campaign, Serbia has been a threat offensively. Denmark has won three and drew three of their previous six games in all competitions. During that time, the Danish team won four out of the six games and gave up four goals.

While their opponents scored twice in the opening forty-five minutes, the bulk of their goals—six—came in the first half. In their last six games, Serbia has won two, drawn one, and lost three. In that time, the Serbian team scored six goals and gave up eight, scoring first in two of the six. While their opponents scored five goals before halftime, they had three in the first half.

Christian Eriksen scored the first goal of Sunday's Group C match against Slovenia, marking his triumphant comeback to the continental scene precisely 1,100 days after going into cardiac arrest during Denmark's inaugural Euro 2020 match. In the seventeenth minute, the Manchester United player scored his first goal after thumping down a beautiful flick from colleague Jonas Wind. But, Eriksen's return was short of perfection as, 13 minutes from time, a long-range shot deflected by Slovenia's Erik Janza cancelled out his opener, leaving both teams to split the points in a 1-1 draw.

In order to secure three crucial points from at least one of their remaining two group games, Denmark's coach, Kasper Hjulmand, acknowledged after the game that his team was "too passive" and lacked intensity in the last ninety minutes. As a result, he has urged his players to sustain their high level of energy throughout the whole ninety minutes. Denmark, ranked 21st in the world by FIFA, has been hard to beat lately as they have only lost one of their last 13 international games since March 2023. However, after drawing with Slovenia, they have now only triumphed once in their last six European Championship group stage matches (W1 D1 L4).

The winners of Euro 1992 have only triumphed in four of their previous 22 meetings with England going into this match. Should they fail to secure the maximum points, they risk losing in the group stage of a major tournament for the second time in a row, following their elimination at the first hurdle in the 2022 World Cup.

This summer, Serbia is making its debut as an independent nation at the European Championship. However, they lost 1-0 to England in their opening Group C match and were unable to earn any points. Jude Bellingham's header put England ahead in the thirteenth minute, and the Three Lions had to absorb pressure for long stretches of time as Serbia steadily increased their lead and became more formidable in the second half.

Despite the fact that Serbia only managed to put one of their six shots on goal in the final third and ultimately lacked a cutting edge, manager Dragan Stojkovic was eager to commend his team's "bravery" and thought that they "did not deserve to lose".

Serbia has only won one of their last twelve European Championship games (D2 L9), including matches against Yugoslavia/Serbia and Montenegro. Their loss on matchday one has left them at the bottom of Group C, and they will need to win at least one of their remaining two group games to have any chance of making it to the knockout stages.

With four points from two Nations League games against Slovenia in 2022, Serbia should feel somewhat more confident going into Thursday's match. They will undoubtedly see this match as a must-win.

Since there is a lot on the line in this match, as in the other four Group C games, it should be highly competitive. However, Serbia's brilliant attackers have yet to find their groove in the final third of the game.

A motivated Denmark squad that gave England a serious run for their money should prove too much for Hjulmand's team to overcome, as they will extend their Euro 2024 journey and send Stojkovic's team packing at the first hurdle.

A scoreline of 2-1 or 3-1 for Denmark is anticipated.
