England and Denmark at Wembley. That is the delight we are all waiting for on Wednesday night. The two teams meet in London to decide which one heads to EURO 2020 finals. England plays superbly but is under heavy pressure to win this championship because they won’t have another chance like this one. Meanwhile, the Danes are motivated as hell because of all the adversities they had to endure. Plus, their team is fantastic, with all the players in their prime years.
The Three Lions are still without a goal allowed at this championship, extending their stretch to seven consecutive clean sheets overall. Their games are not appealing at all, but Southgate’s tactics are giving results so far.
England scored seven goals without conceding one, and that has to be respected, no matter what is your opinion about the former English defender. He is perfectly aware of the team’s flaws and strengths, which is why he sets up defensive-minded tactics.
The pace and quickness up front are allowing thunderous counter-attacks, and Raheem Sterling showed us that. Kane started pounding in the elimination stage, netting three goals in two events, all of the brilliant, we might add. He is truly one of the best strikers in the past decade and one of the best ever in the history of England.
There haven’t been too many people who believed in this unit after Christian Eriksen’s tragedy. They would lose to Finland, and after that Belgium, and the majority of the football fans wrote off Denmark, suggesting that they won’t pass the group.
But it seems that all this motivated Kjaer and the boys, who went on a rampage since the game against Russia. Also, many do forget that the Danes played well in the opening two losses and that so far, they weren’t outplayed at this tournament.
A 2-1 win over the Czech Republic was the fourth straight game for this team with Over 2.5 goals, and three during that span saw both teams netting. This really isn’t the style of play this team prefers, but they had to adapt to the new circumstances.
England: Pickford; Walker, Stones, Maguire; Trippier, Rice, Henderson, Shaw; Mount, Kane, Sterling
Denmark: Schmeichel; Christensen, Kjaer, Vestergaard; Wass, Hojbjerg, Delaney, Maehle; Braithwaite, Dolberg, Damsgaard
The last time these teams met at Wembley, Denmark went home victorious. The Danes won in the UEFA Nations League last season, 0-1. The first game in Copenhagen ended 0-0.
England’s playstyle won’t be different for this matchup, meaning tough defense and lots of running, waiting for the counter-attacks. The same should be applied on the other side. All these point towards a low-scoring affair, which is our suggestion for betting in this particular case. Under 2.5 goals is the most sounding solution, especially due to the high importance of this event.
