In the second semifinal match of Euro 2020, home-side England takes on Denmark. The match is set for Wednesday at 3 p.m. ET at Wembley Stadium in London, England. Below, we preview the England vs. Denmark odds and lines and make our best Euro 2020 bets, picks and predictions.
England is coming off an easy victory over Ukraine in the quarterfinals. While it was challenged against Germany to kick off the knockout stage, England has looked comfortable and remains the favorite to win Euro 2020.
England has been absolutely dominant this tournament, winning four games and drawing one. It has yet to concede a goal and has scored 8, including 6 in the two knockout-round games. England is fourth in the FIFA World Rankings and takes on 10th-ranked Denmark in the semifinals.
After rallying from a loss to Finland in the tournament opener in which star MF Christian Eriksen collapsed on the pitch, Denmark is still on its surprising run. It scored 10 goals over the last three matches and has lost only to Belgium since that tough first Group Stage match.

Prediction
England 3, Denmark 1
Money line (ML)
BET on ENGLAND (-145) as the home side has been dominant.
Being at home has a huge advantage, and Hungary proved it early on in the tournament. Managing draws against Germany and France, it played above its typical standard in front of a home crowd.
Now to finish the tournament, England will be at home, and I’m not betting against it. Winger Raheem Sterling and F Harry Kane looked terrific against Ukraine with Kane scoring in the 4th and 50th minutes.
While Denmark has been able to break through and score at a great pace, England has yet to give up a goal and scored six in the last two games.
Expect England to get the job done behind a strong crowd at Wembley Stadium.
Over/Under (O/U)
BET the OVER 2.5 (+120) as both sides have looked great in the final third.
Denmark will be the team to watch here. If it can force its way through Manchester United D Harry Maguire and then past Everton GK Jordan Pickford, it’ll have a chance.
Denmark has scored the second-most goals in the tournament with F Kasper Dolberg leading the way with 3 goals. If it can get one early and push the pace, this match could end with a high amount of goals.
It’s certainly a risk with how England’s defense has played, but I don’t think Denmark’s attacking success is a fluke. With both teams coming in hot on the offensive end, expect goals to rain in.
