England VS Denmark UEFA European Championship 2020

[Match Preview]

Denmark have reached the semi-finals for the first time for almost 29 years. With 4-0 win over Wales in the Round of 16 and 2-1 over Czech Republic in quarter-final, Denmark are riding a wave of emotion and positivity following the Eriksen incident. On the other hand, England have arguably the best defence in the competition so far. Three Lions produced their best performance without conceding a goal, a record 7 clean sheets!  

 

[H2H Record]

The previous meeting between them was in the UEFA Nations League last year and ended in a 1-0 win for Denmark.

 

[ENG Start XI]

Southgate used back four system against Ukraine and back three system against German. It can be said that the adjustment is all based on the establishment of defense. If he opts for a five-man defence, Kieren Trippier will get a recall with Kyle Walker playing the right centre-back. I think Southgate will stick with the 4-2-3-1 or 3-4-4. Maguire can help the team go forward. Luke Shaw's driving runs, crossing and set-piece delivery have a chemistry with Kane's aerial ability. Central midfield duo of Declan Rice and Kalvin Phillips are the key to defense. Although offensive creativity is not very good, their style is more inclined to interceptions and ball possession.   

 

[DEN Start XI]

Striker Kasper Dolberg has scored three goals in his last two games but he will be more restricted. Captain Simon Kjaer still sticks to his defensive work. The substitutes for attacking midfielder are the most critical.      

 

[Team Analysis]

Southgate has often been criticized for playing a conservative style. But this game couldn't be more suitable for him. With home advantage and attacking talents, England stand a better chance to get a narrow win. "1" option is my choice.
