Slovenia vs Denmark Prediction" Denmark the likely winner but BTTS expected

On Sunday  16th June 2024 at 19:00 (GMT+3), Slovenia will play their first group stage match of the 2024 Germany UEFA European Championship at Stuttgart Arena against Denmark. This is the opening game for both teams in the international cup season. Slovenia is participating in its first continental tournament since their Group Stage elimination during the 2022 Qatar World Cup Qualifiers. Denmark's final continental competition took place during the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, where they were eliminated during the Group Stage.

The teams last faced off in a European Championship Qualifiers qualifying round encounter in Parken last season, with Denmark winning 2-1. In the 26th minute, Joakim Maehle gave Denmark the lead. On the scorecard was Thomas Delaney as well. In the thirty-first minute, Slovenian forward Erik Janza scored.

Slovenia has won five of their previous six games across all competitions and lost one. In that time, they won five of the six games and gave up five, scoring first in 15 of them. They scored ten goals in the first half, while their opponents scored two goals in the opening forty-five minutes. Denmark has had six games, winning five and losing one.

During that period, they scored 12 and gave up 5, scoring first in five of the six. Their opponents only managed one goal before halftime, while the majority of their seven goals came in the first half.

Slovenia

Slovenia, who had already established themselves as one of the surprise packages of the German competition this summer, narrowly lost out on first place in qualification due to a lower head-to-head point total versus Denmark. This gives Kek's team even more motivation to go all out on Sunday. However, with 22 points enough to secure second place in their qualifying round, Slovenia advanced back to the continent's top international competition for the first time since 2000, when they made their debut as an independent nation after the dissolution of Yugoslavia.

Slovenia finished that campaign twenty-four years ago, losing all three of their matches and going out in the group stage. However, since then, the 57th-ranked country in the world has only lost once in their previous twelve games, setting some early precedents for both competitive and non-competitive action.

Prior to Sunday's first encounter, Kek has also orchestrated a six-match unbeaten streak that includes victories over the US, Kazakhstan, and Armenia in addition to a 2-0 thumping of one of the tournament's favourites, Portugal. The Slovenians' final warm-up friendly ended in a 1-1 draw with Bulgaria, which was nothing to get excited about. However, that low-key draw at least extended their scoring sequence to an equally impressive 12 matches, and when they take the field on Sunday, it will have been exactly a year since their last blank.

Denmark

Slovenia's last goalless game occurred on June 16, 2023, when they lost 2-0 to Finland in a Euro qualifying match. However, Denmark, Finland's Scandinavian rival, has a history of outwitting its opponents in 90 minutes. Thirty-two years after startling the world at Euro 1992, Denmark's memories of the postponed 2020 edition are both happy and frustrating. They made it to the semi-finals and gave England a serious run for their money before being eliminated painfully in extra time.

The Red and Whites maintained their faith in their 52-year-old captain, whose team lived up to their first-place expectations in qualifying, even if Kasper Hjulmand's team was unable to build on that achievement with a deep run at the World Cup—underperforming in Qatar and exiting the group stage.

The unexpected losses to Kazakhstan and Northern Ireland over the year revealed a few weaknesses in the Danes' armor, but since the start of the year, the Red and Whites have looked like a team that intends to compete seriously in this summer's championship. After a goalless draw with Switzerland, the Euro 92 champions went on to win three games in a row against the Faroe Islands, Sweden, and Norway. They also extended their unbeaten streak against their underdog opponents to six games from six with a 1-1 draw and 2-1 victory over Slovenia in qualification.
