Tipster’s Angle

This is a tricky game to be judged in terms of the number of goals scored as Denmark have produced high scorers while Wales have done the opposite. On the other hand, Denmark have done pretty well against Wales over the years and they could cross the line here as well.

Tip: Denmark To Win @ 1.87

In the last four head to head matches, Denmark has won three and the other match ended in a Wales win. And three of the last four matches ended in the away side winning the match. Recently they played against each other in the UEFA Nations League, where Denmark outplayed Wales in both matches. In the last ten matches, Wales has won five, drew two and lost three matches. Denmark on the other hand has won six matches, drew one and lost three matches. Also, Denmark are coming into this fixture with a win under their belt and are more likely to come out on the top at 1.87 odds available at the Dafabet sportsbook.

Tip: Yussuf Poulsen To Score @ 3.00

Yussuf Poulsen had a brilliant season with his club RB Leipzig and helped them to finish in second place in Bundesliga. He had scored five goals in the 14 matches that he had started as he was injured for most of the season. In the current European Championship, Denmark has scored five goals and Poulsen has scored two of them. In the last five matches for Denmark, he has scored three goals. He is currently the second joint highest goal scorer so far in the Euros. Also, he is coming into this fixture on the back of two goals in the last two matches. So, it is likely that Yussuf Poulsen will find the back of the net at 3.00 odds available at the Betway sportsbook.

Conclusion

The tenth ranked Danish side is likely to outplay the 17th ranked Wales side and make it to the quarterfinals. Wales will be looking to take this match deep into extra time and penalties, where they also have an equal chance of winning.
