Coming to Euro 2024, Slovenia vs Denmark will clash in the first match of the tournament. If they win, they will have a huge advantage in competing for a spot in the next round in Group C. Therefore, the match scheduled for 23:00 on June 16th will surely be very intense.
First half odds for Slovenia vs Denmark match
In the first match of the tournament, both Slovenia and Denmark certainly do not want to concede an early goal. A slow start and tight play will be what both teams aim for at least in the first 45 minutes of the game. It is highly likely that coach Kasper Hjulmand will still use Andreas Christensen in the defensive midfield position alongside Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg. This duo played extremely well, almost neutralizing every dangerous situation in the last friendly match against Norway. They will together create a solid defensive wall against the Danish attack.
On the other hand, Slovenia also has a solid defense, especially in the position of their experienced captain goalkeeper, Jan Oblak. With his excellent saves, the Atletico Madrid player will surely not make it easy for the opponents to score early. Although in the attacking front, Denmark has notable names such as Rasmus Hojlund, Mikkel Damsgaard, and Kasper Dolberg. However, these players have not yet had any scoring opportunities for the team despite being given chances in the last 2 friendly matches. In addition to choosing the Under 1st half option, the Over corner kick option should also be considered. Especially when both teams often organize counter-attacks based on the high speed of their wingers. For the Danish team, statistics have shown that the duo Maehle and Alexander Bah have brought in 8 corner kicks in the last 2 Euro preparation matches. Prediction: Under goals, over corner kicks.
Full match odds for the clash between Slovenia and Denmark
The history of clashes between the two teams has been leaning heavily towards Denmark. From 1996 to the present, they have met a total of 6 times. And in all 6 matches, the Danish team has never suffered a defeat. In the Euro qualifiers, the two teams also had 2 quite exciting matches. Slovenia held their opponents at home before suffering another defeat away. If the young strikers still do not show the knack for scoring, then coach Kasper Hjulmand still has the ace up his sleeve named Yussuf Poulsen. The 29-year-old forward always shows a killer instinct whenever he is used. In the most recent match against Norway, despite only being brought on for about the last 10 minutes of the game, the RB Leipzig player still left a remarkable mark with an impressive goal.
For Slovenia, difficulties are expected as the team does not have any standout players, especially in the midfield. Most of Slovenia’s midfielders are playing in the domestic league. This is also the reason why their ball possession rate in the last 2 matches is not very high. The handicap odds for this match are 0.75 for Denmark.According to general assessment, this is not too difficult odds for the soldiers. Because the winning rate in the last 10 matches of Eriksen and teammates is up to 80%. Another positive option is to choose the Win option for Denmark in the European handicap. This is even considered the optimal choice for the upcoming match. When the betting odds are high, up to 1.73.
Meanwhile, the over/under odds for the match between Slovenia vs Denmark is 2.25 goals. Experts are leaning towards a match with no more than 2 goals scored. Because in the opening match, both teams are sure to not give their all. In addition, the fact that both teams prefer a defensive counter-attacking style will also slow down the pace of the match. This will limit the number of opportunities they create for the opponent to some extent.
Prediction: Denmark -0.75 FT, Under total score.
