The UEFA Euro 2020 is back with its first set of knock-out fixtures this weekend as Wales lock horns with Denmark at the Johan Cruyff Arena on Saturday. Both teams have fought their way into this stage of the competition and will be in no mood to relent this weekend.
Denmark suffered defeats in their first two matches at Euro 2020 but rallied in admirable fashion to pull off a brilliant victory against Russia. The Danes have a balanced unit and will need to employ the best players at their disposal on Saturday.
Wales might have lost their previous game against Italy but were at their best against Turkey in the group stage. The Welsh outfit pulled off a stunning run at Euro 2016 and will want to replicate their heroics in this edition of the tournament.

Wales (WAL) vs Denmark (DEN) Dream11 Fantasy Suggestions
Wales have a talented squad going into this game and will be intent on proving their mettle against Denmark. Gareth Bale and Aaron Ramsey are the experienced heads of the Welsh side and will need to step up in this match.
Denmark have attacking threats of their own and the likes of Poulsen and Damsgaard have hit their stride at the Euros. Yussuf Poulsen found the back of the net against Russia and will have to be at his lethal best this weekend.
Denmark also have an impressive defensive line with Daniel Wass and Joakim Maehle making an impact on the flanks. Wales have their own adventurous full-back in Ben Davies and Danny Ward is a good choice between the sticks.
