This will be the fourth encounter between Denmark and England at a major tournament, across the UEFA EURO (3) and FIFA World Cup (1). Denmark have so far won none of the previous three meetings (D1 L2), scoring only one goal in the process, Mikkel Damsgaard’s free-kick in the semi-final of EURO 2020.
There have only been five goals scored in the last four meetings between Denmark (2) and England (3) in all competitions.
Denmark have won just one of their last six group stage games at the UEFA European Championship (D1 L4), beating Russia 4-1 in EURO 2020 to ensure qualification to the round of 16.
Denmark completed 583 passes and enjoyed a 89% passing accuracy in their 1-1 draw against Slovenia on MD1, both record highs for the Danes that Opta has on record (since 1980) at the European Championship.
England won 1-0 against Serbia in their opening match at EURO 2024. The Three Lions have never won their opening two matches at a European Championship tournament.
England only had 12 touches in Serbia’s box in their 1-0 win on MD1, their lowest total of touches in the opposition box in a European Championship game since 2012 against Ukraine (also 12).
England manager Gareth Southgate took charge of his 20th match at a major tournament in their 1-0 win over Serbia on MD1, becoming just the 16th manager to do so across the World Cup and EUROs. England average 1.9 goals per game under him at major tournaments, the best ratio of any Three Lions boss.
Christian Eriksen created seven chances from set plays in Denmark’s 1-1 draw with Slovenia, the most by a player in a European Championship match since Gary McAllister in 1992 for Scotland against Germany (8).
Jude Bellingham became the first player to play at two European Championship tournaments before the age of 21 in England’s 1-0 win over Serbia. He is also the second England player to score at two major tournaments before turning 21 (also scored vs Iran at the 2022 World Cup), along with Michael Owen who scored at the 1998 World Cup and EURO 2000.
Denmark’s Christian Eriksen scored his first ever goal at the European Championship in their 1-1 draw with Slovenia. At 32 years and 123 days old, he became the oldest Dane to score at the UEFA EURO and oldest at a major tournament since a 33-year-old Jon Dahl Tomasson at the 2010 World Cup.
