For the Denmark vs Serbia match prediction, we believe the final score will be 3-1 in favour of Denmark based on our analysis.

The Danes showed lots of quality against England last time out, arguably enough to get the win, so they can be fancied to overpower a Serbian side that has strength in attack but lacks solidity at the rear.

Denmark vs Serbia head-to-head statistics

This will be just the fourth renewal of this fixture. The pair didn’t meet until 2014, when Denmark won by three goals to one. They’ve since picked up 2-0 and 3-0 wins against the Serbs.

Denmark vs Serbia preview

This match will take place on 25/06/2024 at Allianz Arena in Munich. Kick off will be at 20:00 GMT.

After a respectable but slightly underwhelming effort against a Slovenian side ranked 36 places below them according to FIFA, the Danes took a step in the right direction on match-day two.

Despite being seen as big underdogs in the betting, the men in red took the fight to England and were the better team for much of the contest, certainly in terms of both forward intent and overall intensity.

After going behind somewhat unfortunately, the Danes steadied themselves, equalising via a beaut of a hit from midfielder Morten Hjulmand.

Following their equaliser, the Danes had the better of the contest and they came close to a second goal on numerous occasions. Following that very encouraging performance, they’ll fancy themselves to beat the Serbs, that’s for sure.

As for Serbia, well, after their defeat to England, and after they went behind to Slovenia on match-day two, they were a whisker away from entering this third and final group game without hope.

Fortunately, Luka Jovic’s header in the dying moments of that game against the Slovenians means that the Serbs are still alive and can still qualify. To do that, though, they’ll almost certainly have to beat Denmark.

Based on what we’ve seen so far, can Dragan Stojković’s men get three points here? Well, anything can happen, sure, but if we’re being honest, it’s fair to say that they’ve shown little to suggest that they’ll win this game.

Denmark vs Serbia Betting tips

There are two bets that stand out looking at the early odds ahead of this fixture:

Denmark to Win

I was expecting the Danes to be odds-on here, which based on what we’ve seen so far, at least for a few quid, wouldn’t be unfair. At 6/5 with bet365, Kasper Hjulmand’s men are worth taking to get the job done.

The way this Denmark team went about their business against England was positive, much more positive than what the Serbs did against the same opponents.

While the Serbs showed sizable amount of fear against England, as they failed to create chances and tested Jordan Pickford just once, and from range at that, the Danes created plenty and even had England on the ropes for sizable portions.

It’s hard to overlook the contrasting efforts delivered between the pair against the English, while it’s also fair to say that the Danes created a more positive impression against Slovenia, enough so for them to be even strong favourites in my book.

Denmark to Score Over 1.5 Goals

The Danes are yet to score twice in a single game at Euro 2024 having notched once against the Slovenians and once against the Three Lions, who’ve had less lion and more frightened kitten about them in Germany, but that’s another matter.

Despite not scoring twice, this Danish side has played some very promising offensive football, so much so that they could very easily explode into goal-scoring life against a weak-looking Serbian side, and I’m not sure that the early odds reflect this accurately enough.

We’ve seen Kasper Hjulmand’s side create chances at this tournament and we know that they’ve got offensive quality, and for my money, that quality is enough to do lots of damage against a poor Serbian back-line, one that has so far been fortunate to escape conceding multiple goals in a single fixture.

Morten Hjulmand to be Booked

Morten Hjulmand introduced himself to a wider footballing audience with that sweet strike that left Jordan Pickford helpless against England, but to fans of Sporting Lisbon, he’s already recognised as a useful player.

Hjulmand is also known by Sporting fans as a player who has a habit of getting his name taken by referees.

In the Portuguese league last season, the Dane picked up no less than 12 yellow cards, which is plenty, but given that he made only 30 appearances, playing a total of 24.3 90’s, that’s an awful lot.

Not only did Hjulmand pick up an average of 0.49 yellow cards per 90 minutes in Portugal last season, but he’s already been in the book at this tournament, receiving a yellow against Slovenia on match-day one.

With this a high-pressure game, one that both teams will be keen to win, Hjulmand’s energy in midfield will be important, but we should not be surprised in the slightest if he’s once again reprimanded. At odds of 7/2, he’s definitely worth betting to be booked for the second time at Euro 2024.
