Denmark and Serbia Face Crucial Euro 2024 Clash
This week, Denmark and Serbia meet in a vital Group C encounter at the Euro 2024 tournament, with both teams needing positive results to advance to the knockout stages.
The Danes opened their campaign with a draw against Slovenia and then held England to a 1-1 stalemate in their second match. Kasper Hjulmand’s side currently sit in second place in the group standings, but a defeat could see them eliminated from the competition. However, a victory coupled with England dropping points against Slovenia could see Denmark leapfrog the Three Lions in the Group C table.
Serbia, on the other hand, also need to win to avoid an early exit from the tournament. This sets the stage for a tense affair at the Allianz Arena in Munich on Tuesday, June 25, with kick-off scheduled for 8 pm BST.
“This promises to be a captivating encounter between two sides determined to progress to the next round of the tournament.”
talkSPORT 2 will have live coverage of the game, with commentary provided by Nigel Adderley and former Liverpool Women’s striker Courtney Sweetman-Kirk. The match will also be broadcast live and free-to-air on ITV.
Denmark will welcome back Thomas Delaney after he recovered from illness, but he is unlikely to displace the impressive Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg in midfield. Serbia, however, will be without the injured Filip Kostic, who picked up a knee ligament injury against England.
Ahead of the crucial clash, Denmark manager Kasper Hjulmand acknowledged the challenge posed by the physical and set-piece threat of the Serbian team. He emphasized the need for his side to control possession and limit the opposition’s opportunities to play to their strengths.
With both teams desperately needing a win to keep their Euro 2024 hopes alive, this promises to be a captivating encounter between two sides determined to progress to the next round of the tournament.
