Slovenia will square off against Denmark in the UEFA Euro 2024 campaign opener at the MHPArena on Sunday. Last edition's runners-up England and Serbia are the other two teams in Group C, thus it is a tricky group, with England being the clear favorites to finish as table toppers.
Slovenia are back in the group stage for the first time since the 2000 edition. They were eliminated from the group stage as they failed to register a win in three games.
Denmark made it to the semifinals in the previous edition and will look to improve upon that record. They had a solid outing in the pre-tournament friendlies, recording 2-1 and 3-1 wins over Sweden and Norway respectively. Pierre-Emile Højbjerg scored in both games.
