The action in a competitive-looking Group C at the EUROs gets underway in Stuttgart on Sunday as Slovenia look for a shock opening-day win over Denmark. Respect must be given to Matjaz Kek’s team, as they have already caused some huge shocks throughout their history; notably their 1-0 win over Italy in the 2006 World Cup qualification.
Slovenia’s recent results also deserve plenty of respect. They have won three of four internationals this year, and their only defeat in their last eleven was in Denmark last November. In the friendlies before the start of EURO 2024, Slovenia secured a 2-1 victory against Armenia and a 1-1 draw against Bulgaria.
Benjamin Šeško will be their key star this summer after impressive at RB Leipzig last season. The striker has netted eleven in 28 appearances at international level.
Denmark famously won the EUROs back in 1992 and finished the previous edition in third. They were slightly unfortunate to lose to England in the semi-finals in 2021, and revenge will very much be on their minds in Germany this summer. Kasper Hjulmand has built a new-look team over recent years, which in part is a reason for their poor showing at the 2022 World Cup.
Since then, their performances and results have been rock solid, with their only setback coming against Northern Ireland when qualification was already assured.
In preparation for EURO 2024, Denmark played against their Scandinavian neighbours, winning 2-1 against Sweden and 3-1 against Norway.
Denmark’s biggest issues could come in the final third after netting just 19 times in qualifying. However, Man United striker Rasmus Højlund could be set to fill that void in Germany after netting seven in 12 matches at international level.
Bet hereDenmark will be a nation worth keeping an eye on this summer, as they showed at EURO 2020 that they have the quality to compete against the very best teams. However, we expect them to get off to a hard-fought win on matchday one, with the recent matches between these sides ending in a draw and a one-goal success.
A single goal may once again be the difference between these sides when making a Slovenia vs Denmark prediction.

Denmark will be particularly menacing from setpiece situations this summer, and they could get joy from corners against this Slovenia side on matchday one. Christian Eriksen will be tasked with delivering the balls into the box, despite enduring a frustrating campaign with Man United.
Despite that, Eriksen recorded two assists in the Premier League last term and four goal contributions during EURO qualification.
