Euro 2024: Denmark Vs England, Three Lions Must Leave Euphoria

England must focus on facing Denmark in the second match of Group C Euro 2024 (Instagram/@england).

JAKARTA - The second match of Group C Euro 2024 will feature an exciting match between Denmark vs England. The match will be held at the Deutsche Bank Park Stadium on Thursday, June 20, 2024, at 23.00 WIB.

Ahead of that match, England were in a more lucrative position as they brought a 1-0 win after meeting Serbia.

However, The Three Lions had to leave the euphoria of victory because they had to prepare for an opponent who was no less severe.

For Gareth Southgate's side, victory became the main focus when they met Denmark. You see, that result will take them forward to the next phase. On the other hand, Denmark also needs points to unlock their potential for going forward.

However, Denmark's position ahead of this match was not very good. While undergoing the group's first match against Slovenia, they could only draw 1-1. Kasper Hjulmand as Denmark's coach even felt that his team's performance was too passive.

Against England, he set his team to perform better in order to gain full points in the remaining two matches in Group C.

Reflecting on the head-to-head record, Denmark is faced with difficult facts. The Euro 1992 winner has even won four of the 22 meetings with The Three Lions.

However, this time Denmark had a bit of a gap to steal the win. You see, at Euro 2024, Gareth Southgate did not include Harry Maguire who has better international experience than all the defenders they have.

Unfortunately, for England, the absence of Harry Maguire did not have much impact. Against Serbia, they were able to concede and reduce the attack of the White Eagle Country.

England currently maintains hope of making history by recording five consecutive times without conceding in the group stage of the Euros. They have also suffered no defeat since the opening match of Euro 2004.

Against Denmark, it is certain that the match will not be easy for England. Three Lions failed to win the match in normal time when they clashed with Denmark earlier.

This Denmark vs England meeting is a repeat of Euro 2020. at that time, Denmark was able to reduce England's resistance in the semifinals. However, they lost in extra time at Wembley Stadium.
