The UEFA Euro 2024 is back in action with another set of matches this weekend as Slovenia take on an impressive Denmark side in an important encounter at the MHP Arena on Sunday. The two teams have experienced contrasting fortunes over the past year and will be determined to win their opening game.
Denmark have an excellent squad at their disposal and regularly feature as dark horses in UEFA Euro competitions. The likes of Christian Eriksen and Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg are experienced campaigners on the international stage and will need to bring their abilities to the fore this year.
Slovenia can pull off an upset on their day and have consistently punched above their weight during their qualifying campaign. With Benjamin Sesko leading the line, the Slovenians could prove to be a handful and have an outside chance of making it to the knock-out stages.
