Today's Germany vs Denmark live stream pits the tournament hosts and Group A winners against a team that scraped through arguably the weakest group with three draws. However, the Germans may be forced to field a makeshift backline at Westfalenstadion
Julian Nagelsmann's men were electrifying through the first two rounds of the group stage, scoring seven and conceding one, but falling behind to Switzerland really knocked them off their stride. For the first time at the Euros they looked unconvincing, and a suspension for Jonathan Tah and thigh issue for Antonio Rüdiger provide futher cause for concern.
The Danes haven't been able to get Rasmus Højlund involved at all, and with Morten Hjulmand, who scored Denmark's only goal from open play, suspended, Kasper Hjulmand will likely set his team up to defend deep. Not only did all three of their group games end in draws, but three of their last four meetings with Germany have been stalemates too. Could we get a penalty shootout?
Line ups:
Germany XI: Neuer, Rudiger, Raum, Kimmich, Havertz, Kroos, Musiala, Schlotterbeck, Sane, Gundogan, Andrich
Denmark XI: Schmeichel, Andersen, Vestergaard, Maehle, Christensen, Delaney, Hojlund, Eriksen, Skov Olsen, Bah, Hojberg
Julian Nagelsmann’s side made it out of the group with relatively little fuss, although they did need a 92nd-minute strike from Niclas Füllkrug to equalize against Switzerland. This maintained their unbeaten run and confirmed top spot in Group A. Denmark, meanwhile, were runners up to England in Group C, which turned out to be a pretty poor section.
There is plenty of talent in both sides. Premier League fans know all about the threat posed by Danish Man Utd duo Rasmus Højlund and Christian Eriksen. Germany have a good mix of youth, like Florian Wirtz, and experience, such as Toni Kroos and Thomas Müller.
Recent history is on Die Mannschaft's side, but we may be in for a long evening. Three of these last four games between these teams have been draws.
The hosts may need to be patient today. We will likely see Denmark sit in a low block and the Germans will have to find some creativity to break them down. The winner in Dortmund will take on whoever wins the Spain vs Georgia match in the quarter-finals.
The European Championship is heating up with exciting round of 16 action this weekend. Headlining the matchups is the Germany vs. Denmark showdown scheduled for today in Dortmund, Germany. Denmark secured their spot in the round of 16 after a hard-fought 0-0 draw against Serbia last week. Meanwhile, Germany clinched their group with a dramatic stoppage-time goal against Switzerland.
Tournament hosts Germany hit an impressive eight goals as they sealed the top spot in Group A, with big wins over Scotland and Hungary, followed by a 1-1 draw against Denmark in their final pool stage fixture.
Denmark haven't been quite as dynamic in the final third as their opponents today, but Kasper Hjulmand's crew boast a robust defense that saw them concede just two goals as they navigated their way out of Group C.
Julian Nagelsmann’s side have have been one of the most impressive teams at the tournament so far, picking up seven points to top Group A and raise hopes among home fans of lifting the European Championship trophy for the first time since 1996.
However, it will not be an easy path for Germany, with Spain and France potentially waiting on the route to the final, and before that a stubborn Denmark side.
Denmark reached the semi-finals at Euro 2020 and have drawn all three of their matches at this tournament so far, including when out-playing England for much of that Group C encounter in Frankfurt.
In the second pre-quarterfinal match of European Championship (Euro Cup 2024), Germany will host Denmark at BVB Stadion Dortmund at 12:30 PM, according to Indian Standard Time on June 30. Germany will have to make changes in defense for the game as it tries to carry the host-nation buzz deeper into the knockout stages
This is the only game in the round of 16 that features two unbeaten teams. Germany finished top of Group A with wins over Scotland and Hungary and a draw with Switzerland. Denmark drew all of its games against Slovenia, England and Serbia.
Germany was eliminated by eventual runner-up England in the round of 16 at Euro 2020 and hasn't won a knockout game at a major tournament since Euro 2016.
Denmark went all the way to the semifinals at Euro 2020 before losing to England, its biggest success since winning the European title in 1992.
Three games into its Euro 2024 campaign, the German team hasn't yet ignited quite the same kind of patriotic fervor that it had at the 2006 World Cup. Flags have been popping up across the country and crowds in the stadiums are vocal, though, so a win over Denmark for a quarterfinal spot could build momentum.
Julian Nagelsmann's side topped Group A with wins over Scotland and Hungary, but were held to a 1-1 draw by Switzerland in their final group game.
On the other hand, Danish Dynamite finished second in Group C despite picking up a single win. Kasper Hjulmand's side registered draws against Slovenia, England and Serbia in the group stage.
Defender Jonathan Tah faces a one-match ban on account of his two yellow cards in the tournament, while Antonio Rudiger emerges a doubt with a hamstring problem but is likely to recover in time.
