Germany vs. Denmark picks and predictions
Prediction
Germany 1, Denmark 0
Moneyline (ML)
BET GERMANY (-165).
Germany is the host country and should have a leg up. When it come out to start the tournament, it throttled Scotland 5-1. Germany won the group after beating Hungary in the 2nd match day and then coasted against Switzerland. It has the talent, especially in the middle of the field with Man City M İlkay Gündoğan and Bayern Munich M Jamal Musiala, to control this match and find holes in the Denmark defense.
Denmark should play Germany well as it has played to the level of its competition, but with England having struggled, this could be Denmark’s toughest battle. It didn’t perform overly well against any team other than England.
With home-field advantage, expect Germany to come out and win in full time. This isn’t great value at -165, but it’s certainly still playable. BACK GERMANY (-165).
Over/Under (O/U)
BET UNDER 2.5 (-116).
Five of the 6 group stage games involving these teams cashed Under tickets. The lone match that didn’t was Germany thrashing Scotland, the worst team in Group A. Denmark gave up few chances yet also created just a handful.
In what was a match against Serbia that it had to get a result, Denmark totaled 3 shots on frame. Considering Germany’s defense gave up 2 goals in 3 matches, it should be able to keep a struggling Denmark attack at bay.
With that in mind, BACK UNDER 2.5 (-116).
