After the slightly more “indifferent” groups, the action in the knockouts Euro 2024 get started. Germany and Denmark face each other at “Signal Iduna Park” in Dortmund (22:00, ERT1, sport-fm.gr, News Bulletin 247) with the aim of the second “ticket” for the quarter-final stage of the competition.
This couple has a clear favorite, and that is the host of the tournament. Germany made a good impression from their (broadly passable) group, picking up two wins with Scotland, Hungary and a tie with Switzerland.
The “punchers” showed an excellent image in attack and scored the most goals of the first phase (8), however they had a little trouble at the back, after conceding goals in two out of three their confrontations, while they were greatly threatened by them Hungarianseven though they failed to score.
Now, the Germany she wants to do her… duty and get the qualification from a clearly lower-quality opponent, expecting in the next phase a very difficult intersection with Spain (facing Georgia), which will also show how high expectations he can have from the tournament.
Regarding absences, Mr Jonathan Ta he is penalized with cards, while all others are counted normally by him Julian Nagelsmann.
On the other hand, Denmark he had a… strange course until the “16”. His team Kasper Hulmant did not in any way resemble the impressive team that reached the semi-finals of the previous edition, however managed to get three draws in as many matches with England, Serbia and Sloveniaqualifying as second in their group.
The Scandinavians certainly do not have a set that looks capable of big things, like the one in 2021, but they are a “solid” team that can keep a “nil” in defense and take advantage of any opportunity given to them in attack. Great care will be needed for Germany in this match, since the Danes are quite experienced now and know how to get results.
Regarding absences, Denmark does not count on Morten Hulmandwho is punished for completing cards.

Germany (Nagelsmann, 4-2-3-1): Neuer – Kimmich, Anton, Sloterbeck, Mittelstadt – Andrich, Kroos – Musiala, Guidogan, Wirz – Havertz.
Denmark (Hulmand, 3-4-3): Schmeichel – Andersen, Westergaard, Christensen – Ba, Delaney, Hoiberg, Mele – Wied, Eriksen, Hoylund.
