Denmark face Serbia in a crucial Group C encounter at UEFA Euro 2024.
Victory would see Denmark advance to the Round of 16 and could top the group depending on how England’s clash against Slovenia finishes, but a defeat coupled with a draw for Slovenia would eliminate the Danes.
Serbia meanwhile must win simply to stand any chance of progression into the knockout stages.

Stat Attack
- This is Denmark’s first meeting against Serbia at European Championships Finals.
- Serbia lost each of their two previous Euro meetings against Denmark (L2), albeit in Qualifying for UEFA Euro 2016.
- Denmark are yet to concede against Serbia when playing as the ‘home’ team, having won 2-0 in June 2015 in Euro 2016 Qualifying then 3-0 in March 2022 in a friendly.
- Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg has registered more shots on target than any other Danish player at Euro 2024, having put 4 of his 6 shots onto target.
- No Serbia player has had more shots this tournament than Aleksandar Mitrovic (7).
Prediction
Having dominated England for much of their second group match, Denmark will be frustrated to have had lacked that penetrating edge to find a winner but the performance was positive which they can build upon here if can just be more clinical.
Serbia meanwhile certainly had to scrap for a late draw against Slovenia and I do expect them to be right up for this scrap, especially knowing that only a win would be enough for them but they must avoid putting themselves under pressure as Slovenia repeatedly forced their defence into.
A draw won’t really do either team much good although Denmark could still sneak through as one of the four best third-placed finishers, so it wouldn’t be a surprise if this game is another tight contest and the points are shared.
Prediction: Denmark 1-1 Serbia
Result: Denmark 0-0 Serbia
