Denmark opened up its Group C play with a 1-1 draw against Slovenia Sunday, ending with 5 more shots, 2 more shots on frame and 68% of the possession.

Denmark vs. England picks and predictions

Prediction

England 2, Denmark 1

Moneyline (ML)

BET ENGLAND (-145).

England’s national team is littered with top-tier talent from numerous world-class clubs. While it didn’t put it on Serbia as most had hoped, it did come out on top, unlike Denmark. Denmark drew Slovenia and dominated possession, which is concerning. It hasn’t played a top-5 nation since losing to France in the World Cup knockout stage in 2022.

England’s depth of talent, with arguably the world’s best goal-scoring F in Harry Kane and rising-star MF in Jude Bellingham, should help it come out on top, and as it continues to gain experience with the group, it should continue to see results. It won 3 of its last 4 Euro qualifiers.

At these odds, take ENGLAND (-145).

Over/Under (O/U)

BET OVER 2.5 (+126).

England notched 1 goal Sunday but had scored 2 or more in 2 of its 3 games leading up to Euro 2024. The finishing skillset in its attack is there, led by Bayern Munich star Kane, who tallied 36 goals in 32 club games.

While England’s defense did hold Serbia scoreless, it did allow a goal in 3 of 4 friendlies leading up to the tournament, and Denmark, behind Man United F Rasmus Højlund, also has the finishing to break through England’s defense. Denmark has gone Over in 2 of its last 3 games.

For the value on it, take OVER 2.5 (+126).
