Germany’s Dangerous Lineup

Germany boasts a formidable lineup featuring Florian Wirtz, Jamal Musiala, Toni Kroos, and super-sub Niclas Füllkrug. These players are expected to carve out numerous dangerous opportunities against Denmark. Germany’s balanced attack and solid midfield control have been pivotal in their campaign, making them a daunting opponent for any team.

Historical Context

The last encounter between these two teams at the Euros was back in 2012, where Germany emerged victorious with a 2-1 win. Interestingly, five players from that match are still part of the current German squad, adding a layer of experience and familiarity to their lineup. This historical edge might give Germany an additional psychological advantage going into this crucial knockout game.

The Stakes and Expectations

As the knockout stage commences, both teams will be under immense pressure to perform. For Germany, continuing their strong run and leveraging their home advantage will be key. Meanwhile, Denmark will look to defy their long +5500 odds to win it all, relying on their star players to produce moments of magic. This match promises to be an exciting clash, with Germany aiming to assert their dominance and Denmark fighting to prove their resilience.
