At Borussia Dortmund's home ground, the German tank is on a 7-match unbeaten streak this year, with 5 wins, 2 draws and they are ready to aim for a ticket to the quarter-finals.
Host team Germany will face Denmark at Signal Iduna Park (Dortmund) in the round of 16 of EURO 2024.
The German team has dispelled the haunting of the two most recent World Cup campaigns, both of which were eliminated from the group stage. At EURO 2024 at home, coach Julian Nagelsmann and his team have officially won tickets to the knockout round after just the first two matches.
At the end of the EURO 2024 group stage, host Germany was the team that scored the most goals - 8 goals.
A quarter-final against Spain or Georgia awaits if Die Mannschaft are able to knock out Denmark.
The home team Germany is in possession of the "home advantage" as they are unbeaten in all 7 matches at Borussia Dortmund this year, winning 5 and drawing 2.
Having secured an early ticket to the round of 16, Germany entered the match against Denmark with the highest confidence as they had the psychological advantage of home field. Along with that, coach Nagelsmann's students were in the best physical condition when playing with all their might in the final match of the group stage. Germany also had 1 more day of rest than their opponent Denmark.
As for Denmark, they failed to win any of their group stage matches in Group C against England, Slovenia and Serbia. Denmark's three draws with the three opponents were enough for coach Kasper Hjulmand's team to secure second place and a ticket to the round of 16. This is the first time the Nordic team has reached the knockout stages of two consecutive EUROs.
Before this meeting, Germany won 2-1 against Denmark in the most recent official confrontation in the EURO 2012 group stage. After that victory, both friendlies between the two teams ended with a score of 1-1.
Denmark have yet to win a match at EURO 2024, but they have not lost to any team either. In the group stage, England's star-studded squad could only manage a hard-fought 1-1 draw against Denmark. The tin soldiers of Andreas Christensen, Christian Eriksen and Rammus Hojlund are in good form and ready to surprise once again at EURO 2024.
In this match, the home team Germany is rated higher than Denmark thanks to their high performance and quality personnel, especially the home field advantage. However, the history of confrontation shows that the Tanks should be careful against the Tin Soldiers if they do not want to pay a heavy price. The draw with Switzerland in the last round of the group stage is a warning for Germany before facing Denmark in this knockout round.
That important draw brought the soaring legs of the Tank back to the ground. That match will also help coach Nagelsmann's team to focus before entering a series of matches with no room for error. Coach Nagelsmann's team also wants to aim for a big win against the Nordic representative to show their strength to the rest of EURO 2024.
The match between Germany and Denmark will take place at 2:00 on June 30 at Signal Iduna Park Stadium.
