Hi Guys, I'm Akshay, a sports enthusiast and a passionate sports tipster.

I am just another free spirit whose life revolves around sports.

England will host Denmark in the second semifinal of the Euros at the Wembley Stadium in London on 8th July 2021 at 00:30 IST. The odds are clearly in favor of England to win the match. But the Danes are in some good form to write them off so early.

Teams Status

England

England were drawn to the easier side of the bracket after finishing at the top of Group D with seven points. They had a slightly trickier group with the likes of Croatia, the Czech Republic and Scotland. They faced a fading German side in the round of 16. England started off well and took advantage of that to win the match 2-0. Raheem Sterling and Harry Kane found the back of the net. After that, they thrashed Ukraine in the quarterfinals 4-0 with goals from Harry Kane, Harry Maguire and Jordan Henderson. England have scored eight goals so far in five matches and have not conceded a single goal. Kane and Sterling are the team’s leading goal scorers with three goals each. Luke Shaw leads the assists list with three assists to his name. Gareth Southgate would be urged to field the same XI that destroyed the Ukraine defense.

Denmark

Denmark on the other hand also had the easier fixtures so far but things will get tougher from now on. After two successive losses to Finland and Belgium, Denmark came out of Group A in the second position as they thrashed Russia 4-1 in the final group game. They had a slightly easier opponent in Wales in the round of 16. They again put four goals past Wales as well with goals from Kasper Dolberg, Joakim Maehla and Martin Brathwaite. They were exceptional against the Czechs as well in the quarterfinals. Thomas Delaney and Kasper Dolberg’s goals sealed the deal for Denmark. They have scored as many as 11 goals and have conceded just five goals in the five matches that they have played. Kasper Dolberg is the team’s leading goal scorer with three goals under his belt. With the return of Yussup Poulsen from injury, he might start against England in front of goal.

What Do the Sportsbooks Say?

England	Draw	Denmark
1.72	3.60	5.25

1.75	3.75	5.20

According to the 10Cric sportsbook, England are the favorites to win the match and are placed at 1.68, Denmark are placed at 5.10 and the draw is at 3.60 odds. England are placed at 1.75 according to the Dafabet sportsbook, Denmark are placed at 5.20 and the draw is at 3.75 odds. According to the Betway sportsbook, England are placed at 1.72, Denmark are placed at 5.25 and the draw is at 3.60 odds.

Tipster’s Angle

As the odds suggest, this won’t be an easy walk in the park for England. They would have to earn the final spot against the surprise package Denmark. By considering the last two matches of these two teams, this contest could see at least two goals scored between them.

Tip: Total Goals Over 2 @ 1.72

In the last ten matches that England has played, they have seen at least two goals in five of those matches. They have scored six goals in the last two matches in the Euros at an average of three goals per match and none of those matches had under two goals. Denmark on the other hand have seen at least two goals in eight of the last ten matches that they have played across competitions. Also, over two goals were scored in all the last four matches that they have played in Euros. With the likes of Harry Kane, Raheem Sterling, Kasper Dolberg, Martin Brathwaite and Joakim Maehla, goals could be a feature of this match. So, it is likely that over two goals will be scored at 1.72 odds available at the Dafabet sportsbook.

Tip: Denmark +1 @ 1.61

In the last four head to head matches, Denmark has covered the spread of +1 in all of the four matches. Even Denmark are unbeaten against England in the last two matches that they have played in the UEFA Nations League. In the last ten matches that Denmark has played across competitions, they have won seven matches, drew one and lost two matches. They have lost both the matches by just one goal. That means they are pretty solid in covering the spread of +1. England on the other hand hasn’t won six matches in their last ten by more than one goal. So, it is likely that Denmark will cover the spread of +1 at 1.61 odds available at the Dafabet sportsbook.

Conclusion

Despite the tip saying that Denmark would cover the spread, England could come out on top but Denmark will put up a fight and keep it close. The winner of this match will face either Italy or Spain in the finals. The way that they have performed in the tournament, Denmark could even stage the second biggest upset.
