Denmark faces Finland in round 1 of the Euro group stage. The match will be played on Saturday, June 12th at Parken Stadium (Copenhagen)
The national team of Denmark has a reputation of a very strong middle peasant. Playing not particularly brightly but at the same time successfully, the Dynamite performed well at the World Cup. Then there was a successful qualification for the Euro under the management of Hareide. And it was Age who was supposed to take the Danes to the tournament, but his contract expired in the middle of last year. Hjulmand replaced him as planned, as the federation agreed with him in advance. And the Danes didn't have to regret it. Yes, they didn’t manage to earn points in the Nations League matches against Belgium, but they gained four points in the games against England. In the World Cup qualifiers, Denmark gained three victories with a total score of 14-0. Among other things, Austria, which is a direct competitor, was hammered 0-4 away. In the last friendly matches, Hjulmand's charges tied against Germany away (1-1) and confidently beat weaker Bosnia at home (2-0).

Finland is the absolute debutant of the European Championship. Moreover, the national team did not play in big tournaments before. But now the Finns have reached their peak. If we look at the previous World Cup qualifiers, the former outsider spoiled the nerves of its opponents. And then there was a great qualification with a historic achievement. Yes, the Eagle-owls lost both matches to the Italians. But the Scandinavians gained six victories in the other eight games, even though they played against experienced Greece and ambitious Bosnia and Armenia. But are Markku Kanerva's charges ready to match the new level? In the Nations League, the first place was given to Wales, but Finland outranked Bulgaria and Ireland. In the starting World Cup qualifiers, there were productive draws against the Bosnians and Ukraine, but there Pukki used Mykolenko's blunder. But then the Finns only lost in friendly matches (2-3 to Switzerland, 0-2 to Sweden, and even 0-1 to Estonia). But Teemu Pukki finally recovered, which is the main thing for Kanerva. And the fact that his team will be the underdog is even customary for Markku.
Denmark has never lost to Finland. Moreover, the Dynamite won in four of the last five matches. In the last game in 2011, the Danes won 2-1. The bookmakers believe that the hosts should win the upcoming match. Finland has already been studied, and Kanerva does not have many trump cards. We bet on Denmark to win with a -1 handicap.
Prediction for the match: Denmark to win with -1.0 handicap
