Denmark take on the visitors Sweden in a Friendly International match. The match will be played on Wednesday, June 4th at Parken Stadium (Copenhagen).
Denmark became one of the symbols of the last Euros, marking a memorable chapter in the tournament's history. After unexpectedly losing Eriksen, who nearly died on the field, and losing their first two matches, the Danes made it all the way to the semi-finals, where they were controversially stopped by England. On the other hand, the team had a disappointing World Cup performance, failing to advance past the group stage. Even in the qualifiers, there were hiccups, like their lackluster defeat to Kazakhstan. Nonetheless, Kasper Hjulmand's squad managed to finish first in their group. Naturally, Denmark aims to make another significant impact at the Euros, but for now, they will focus on friendly matches where they often struggle without strong motivation. They concluded their qualifiers with a loss to Northern Ireland and had a goalless draw against Switzerland in March before a 2-0 win over the Faroe Islands.

Sweden wants to finally emerge from a prolonged slump. The Three Crowns were in the World Cup quarter-finals as recently as 2018 and topped a challenging group in the last Euros. However, they lost to Ukraine in the first knockout round, which marked the start of a downturn. They failed to qualify for the World Cup and had a poor qualifying campaign last year, finishing behind not only Belgium but also Austria. To break this streak of failures, Sweden brought back Jon Dahl Tomasson, a former striker (incidentally Danish), who had previously worked with Malmö and struggled to achieve significant results in the English Championship. Tomasson's new tenure started with a heavy 2-5 loss to Portugal, but he followed up with a 1-0 home win against Albania, thanks to a single goal from Nilsson. The current squad selection raised eyebrows, especially in the attack, where 28-year-old Eliasson from AEK could debut, but Quaison, Klaesson, Thelin, and, notably, Gyökeres, who has been prolific since moving to Lisbon a year ago, are absent.
In four matches, victories for The Three Crowns and draws alternated. However, in the latest match in November 2020, the Danes secured a convincing 2-0 victory. The Danes play at home against their neighbor, who has not been impressive lately. The prediction here is that the home team will achieve a victory.
Prediction for the match: Denmark to win.
