Julian Nagelsmann’s promising Germany side face Denmark in their last-16 tie at Euro 2024 on Saturday evening.
The hosts strolled through the group stages, with two impressive performances in their opening two games meaning they had qualified with a game to spare when they faced Switzerland, though the nature of that 1-1 draw means that Nagelsmann will be demanding an exciting performance.
Denmark had a far more underwhelming group stage, with three draws meaning they picked up a measly three points that was just enough to creep through in second place in Group C. But with a solid side including Christian Eriksen, Rasmus Hojlund and a wealth of experienced defenders, Denmark are capable of springing the latest surprise at Euro 2024, and Germany will need to be on form if they’re to earn a place in the quarter-finals.
Follow all the latest updates from Germany v Denmark below.
Germany vs Denmark
Julian Nagelsmann’s Germany side travel to Dortmund on Saturday, 29 June to face Denmark in the last 16 of Euro 2024.
And they’ll be looking to put that match behind them with a more fluid attacking performance against a Denmark side that has been underwhelming so far. Kasper Hjulmand’s side managed to squeeze through in second place in Group C, after draws in each of their group games.
There’s plenty of talent in the Danish side, with veteran Christian Eriksen supported by Manchester United teammate Rasmus Hojlund and a defence with plenty of Premier League experience, but they haven’t managed to click in attack yet – that’ll have to change if they want to have any chance of booking a place in the quarter-finals.
