On Wednesday, England will host Scandinavian surprise package Denmark in a tense Euro 2020 semi-final match at Wembley Stadium. With Denmark journeying to the capital to reach the finals this summer, we present Euro 2020 predictions – England vs Denmark.
The Three Lions crushed Ukraine 4-0 last Saturday to reach the last four of the Euro 2020.
Meanwhile, Denmark won over Czech Republic in the quarterfinals, by 2-1, the exact football match score we predicted.
Now, the winners here will face either Italy or Spain in the Euros’ final on July 11.
Team news
England
- England will be without Dean Henderson, but they will not be concerned about suspensions. After all, Harry Maguire, Declan Rice, Kalvin Phillips, and Kieran Trippier have all avoided a second yellow card last time.
- Gareth Southgate may retain the 4-2-3-1 formation he utilized against Ukraine, but then, who will play on the right? Although Jadon Sancho started Saturday’s rout, Southgate may still turn to Bukayo Saka on the right flank. This will be to try to keep Joakim Maehle at bay.
England possible starting lineup: Pickford; Walker, Stones, Maguire, Shaw; Rice, Phillips; Saka, Mount, Sterling; Kane
Denmark
- Denmark’s Kasper Hjulmand may stick with the same starting lineup that beat the Czech Republic 2-1.
- Andreas Christensen left thepitch for a substitute late in the game against the Czech Republic. But we don’t believe he’ll miss the match against England, and he should start in the back three for Denmark.
- The Danes may enjoy a boost with Yussuf Poulsen and Daniel Wass, who both came off the bench on Saturday.
Denmark possible starting lineup: Schmeichel; Vestergaard, Christensen, Kjaer; Stryger Larsen, Delaney, Hojbjerg, Maehle; Damsgaard, Dolberg, Braithwaite
Euro 2020 Predictions – England vs Denmark
- Following a 4-0 win over Ukraine in the quarter-finals, England has begun to step up their game. They’ve shined in the knockout stages after hardly getting out of second gear in the group stages. England is yet to concede at Euro 2020, and with Harry Kane back in form, fans are optimistic about winning. Indeed, England are hoping of bringing home the trophy this summer.
- We cannot overlook Denmark, on the other hand, because they are a force to be reckoned with.
- After Christian Eriksen’s collapse and defeats to Finland and Belgium, they have regrouped admirably, with a settled system and XI.
- The last time these two teams played, England was defeated 1-0 at Wembley in the UEFA Nations League last October. The Three Lions are unlikely to lose here now that fans have been allowed back into the stadium. But despite England supporters being in full shout, Denmark has the resources to take this one all the way.
Underestimating a country of Denmark’s stature would almost definitely be disastrous for England.
So, they’re in for a grueling evening against Denmark, who are just as willing to dream as they are.
Southgate’s tenacious defense may break at Euro 2020, and the Danes’ energy may take the game to extra time.
Finally, though, England’s attacking alternatives off the bench should help them get over the line. We predict them to thus bring the Euro 2020 trophy closer to home.
