Denmark vs. Belgium: Tips, Prognosis & Odds - 17.06.2021 - EUROPE: European Championship 2021

Denmark - statistics & current form
The Danish team dominated the game against Finland even after Christian Eriksen's failure and the long interruption of play in the second half, but a goal did not succeed. Even an intermittent penalty was missed by Pierre Emile Hojbjerg.

Due to the defeat against the EM newcomer, the Scandinavians are already under a lot of pressure. On the other hand, it is clear that coach Kasper Hjulmund's team will now be particularly motivated and dedicate the remaining games to the EM Eriksen. However, the offensive player in midfield is a very important player.

The 29-year-old is unlikely to be a substitute for Denmark. How important he is for the Danes in normal cases is shown by his record of 36 goals and 24 assists in 109 international matches so far. In addition, only the Frenchman Antoine Griezmann created more chances during the European Championship qualification.

Denmark's other offensive players have not convinced recently
Furthermore, some of the core forces in the attack department do not appear strong. An example: Martin Braithwhaite, who is only intended for short appearances at his club from Barcelona and has comparatively little match practice.

On top of that, he struggled twice with injuries in the past few months and his yield of four cross-competition hits in the current calendar year shows that he is in poor shape.
His strike partner Jonas Older Wind, on the other hand, was admittedly one of the best strikers in the previous season of the Danish Super League at his club from Copenhagen, but of course the level of the Beletage in Denmark is to be assessed as low in international comparison.

Youssuf Poulsen was also only able to make an occasional positive appearance at RB Leipzig with five goals this season and his time with the Red Bulls should slowly come to an end. The season for Andreas Cornelius, who fits seamlessly into the list of weak offensive players, was not very encouraging.

The 28-year-old was relegated from Serie A with Parma, and his meager yield from one goal this season - last year there were still a dozen goals - can be seen as one of several reasons.
Do the guests win to zero?
In view of these offensive problems of the home side, the odds on an away win to zero in the encounter between Denmark and Belgium are additionally equipped with value.

Expected formation of Denmark:
Schmeichel - Christensen - Maehle - Kjaer - Wass - Jensen - Hojbjerg - Delaney - Braithwaite - Older Wind - Poulsen

Belgium - statistics & current form
The Belgians showed no nakedness in the 3-0 opening success and annoyed the Russians with, among other things, a very precise passing game - with an impressive rate of almost 90 percent. Reliable once again acted Romelu Lukaku, who is currently ahead of the game for the top scorer in the 2021 European Championship.

The Inter Milan striker, who was named the best Serie A player this season, expanded his record in the Diables Rouges jersey with a double hit to 62 goals!
With this yield, "Big Rome” has long been the most successful scorer in the country's history and has, for example, 30 goals more than Eden Hazard.

The latter player from Real Madrid has at least recently made it back into the squad. After an injury, he played around half an hour in the last two international matches against Croatia and Russia. In the duel with Denmark it could be enough for a longer working day.

In addition, Axel Witsel will return to the field for the first time after his cruciate ligament tear from last January. However, the BVB midfielder will only play a short time at most.
KDB is not yet an option
With regard to convalescence, Kevin de Bruyne is not yet ready. The mastermind in midfield will probably be out of the coming game due to his injury from the recent CL final. In addition, since the match against the Russians for Timothy Castagne, the EM 2021 has already been done.

With a double eye socket hernia, the defensive player from Leicester had to travel home and undergo an operation. On the other hand, his injury also had a positive aspect from the Belgians' point of view.

Meunier with a conciliatory end to the season?
Thomas Meunier took his place and the BVB player immediately took his chance with a goal and an assist. It seems that after a weak season at BVB, Meunier can now start again within the Belgian national team.

Expected formation of Belgium:
Courtois - Boyata - Vertonghen - Alderweireld - Meunier - Dendoncker - Tielemans - Hazard - Carrasco - Lukaku - Mertens
Direct comparison / H2H
The teams faced each other for the last time in November as part of the Nations League. The World Cup third party prevailed 4-2 in the game, repeating the success from the first leg when Danish Dynamite had to admit defeat 2-0. A total of 15 duels can be discovered and the balance is even with six wins and three draws.

In the end it always rang early in the Danish box
However, this does not apply to the recent past. The Belgians have scored an impressive 16 goals in the last eight duels and have always struck very early. In the last two Nations League games, Lukaku and Co. scored a goal up to the tenth minute of the game!

For the renewed edition of Denmark against Belgium, the Martinez-Elf also takes the role of favorites in the odds.
Betting base forecast & Denmark Denmark - Belgium Belgium tip
The twelfth in the world rankings cannot keep up with Belgium in terms of personnel. Due to the failure of the best player in the person of Christian Eriksen, the class difference has increased again.
Free soccer predictions
How big this is can be seen from an exemplary look at the opening games, in which the Belgian selection showed a positive value of 1.6 for the expected goals, while the Danes were at -1.8.
Of course, the Scandinavians' first match was completely under the impression of fear for Eriksen's life in the meantime, but this does not change the basic assessment of a technically better visiting team. For the clash between Denmark and Belgium, the tip on an away win therefore seems profitable.
Free soccer picks
The Belgians currently have personnel problems as well, as Kevin de Bruyne is still missing, but in the first game against Russia the strongest offensive team in the European Championship qualification showed that they can compensate for this with a well-staffed squad. On top of the attack by the double goal scorer against Russia, Romelu Lukaku still seems unstoppable.
