Slovenia will kick off their Euro 2024 campaign against Denmark. Denmark have never lost to Slovenia. Will our AI score predictor back Slovenia to pick up a first-ever win over the Danes?
Slovenia and Denmark are joined by England and Serbia in Group C. The English are the favourite to win the Euros according to leading bookmakers. However, both Slovenia and Denmark should fancy their chances of topping the group due to England’s current form.
With its full complement of tools, Forebet has made a prediction for the Euro 2024 outcome, which you can check in the video below.
Denmark are 41.00 to win the tournament, while Slovenia are 251.00. The Slovenians are long-shots to lift the trophy. Despite the long odds, Slovenia could cause some problems for the more fancied teams in Group C.
Slovenia have played well in 2024. They collected three wins and two draws in five matches. Their wins came against the USA 1-0, Portugal 2-0, and Armenia 2-1. Slovenia’s draws were against Malta 2-2 and Bulgaria 1-1.
Despite going unbeaten, Slovenia’s results in 2024 have been mixed. They won against strong teams but drew against weaker sides.
Denmark are also unbeaten in 2024, posting three wins and a draw. Indeed, the Danes are on a three-game winning streak. After starting the year with a nil-nil draw against Switzerland, Denmark won 2-0 against the Faroe Islands, 2-1 over Sweden, and 3-1 versus Norway.
The Danish team will feature many of the same names from the previous Euros when the team reached the semifinals and were undone by a late penalty that never looked like a foul.
Anderlecht goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel will start in net. Captain Simon Kjaer will anchor the centre of defence.
Man United’s Christian Eriksen, who suffered a cardiac arrest at Euro 2020, has been picked for this year’s team. Manchester United teammate Rasmus Hojlund could start the opening match. He is the team’s most explosive goal scorer.
Slovenia do not have the strength across the pitch Denmark possess. However, the Slovenians have quality in certain areas. Goalkeeper Jan Oblak will be difficult to beat.
Rising star Benjamin Sesko will have all eyes on him. The RB Leipzig striker signed a new contract with the German club, spurning the opportunity to leave for Arsenal, Chelsea, or Man United this summer. He has 11 goals in 29 international appearances.
At the end of the day, the result will come down to Denmark’s superior quality. Our algorithm predicts a comfortable win for Denmark 4-1. The win will set the Danes on a collision course with England in Group C.
