Belgium are back in action at UEFA Euro 2020 as they lock horns with Denmark in a crucial Group B encounter at the Parken Stadium on Thursday. Both teams have excellent players in their ranks and will need to win this game.
Denmark suffered a 1-0 defeat against Finland in their opening match at Euro 2020 and will want to bounce back in this match. The Danes can pack a punch on their day and have troubled Belgium in the past.
Belgium, on the other hand, are one of the favourites to win the tournament and are in excellent form at the moment. The Belgians thrashed Russia by a 3-0 margin in their previous game and will be confident ahead of this fixture.

Denmark (DEN) vs Belgium (BEL) Dream11 Fantasy Suggestions
Romelu Lukaku is already in the running for the Golden Boot and is in the form of his life at the moment. The Inter Milan striker scored a brace against Russia and is an excellent choice for captaincy ahead of this game.
Dries Mertens and Youri Tielemans are two of Belgium's chief creative forces and will have to play their part in this fixture. Denmark, on the other hand, have their own midfield general in Tottenham Hotspur star Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg.
Belgium will likely persist with their tried-and-tested defensive partnership, with both Alderweireld and Vertonghen stepping up against Russia. Daniel Wass is one of Denmark's most experienced performers and will play a part in their attacking moves this week.
