England's second match of Euro 2024 will come on Thursday evening when they take on Denmark in Frankfurt. Both of these teams are expected to qualify for the knockout stages but after drawing their opening game, Denmark can ill afford to lose this one.
The overall Denmark vs England H2H record doesn't make for great reading if you're a Denmark one which makes their task doubly difficult on Thursday. However, they have enjoyed recent success against the Three Lions so all hope isn't lost.
Denmark vs England H2H overview
Denmark and England first met on the football pitch in 1948 when both sides played out a dull 0-0 draw. That match turned out to be the first 22 meetings between the two football-mad nations.
- Denmark wins: 4

Key Denmark vs England H2H stats
Early goals are on the cards
Since 2011, England and Denmark have met five times. In those encounters, a total of seven goals have been scored inside 90 minutes. Out of those seven goals, five of them have come in the first half which tells us that clashes between these two nations are typically more open before half-time.
First half to be the highest-scoring half – 21/10 (Betfred)
Don't expect a classic
As already mentioned, just seven goals have been scored in ‘normal' time in the last five matches between Denmark and England. This is an average of 1.4 goals per game which doesn't exactly get the juices flowing ahead of kick-off. Both teams were involved in low-scoring matches on matchday one at Euro 2024 which only furthers our argument for a dull affair on Thursday evening.
Under 2.5 goals to be scored – 4/6 (Betfred)
Is a comeback on the cards?
England have enjoyed two comeback wins over Denmark since 2011. They came from a goal down to beat them 2-1 in Copenhagen back in 2011 and repeated the same feat in the Euro 2020 semi-finals at Wembley three years ago. Denmark scored first in their opening Euro 2024 match against Slovenia and are known as quick starters.
England to win from behind – 8/1 (Betfred)
Joy for PL-based Danes?
Two of the last three goalscorers for Denmark in matches against England were playing their football in the Premier League at the time (Daniel Agger in 2011 and Christian Eriksen in 2020). The third, Mikkel Damsgaard, joined Brentford a year after his goal against England at Euro 2020. The current Denmark squad has nine PL-based players, will one of them find the back of the net on Thursday?
Rasmus Hojlund to score anytime – 7/2 (Betfred)
A match for England centre forwards
Three of England's last four goalscorers against Denmark have been strikers. While this may seem obvious, four of England's last six goalscorers have been midfielders and defenders so a Harry Kane goal is definitely overdue. The Bayern Munich striker netted the winner against Denmark the last time the two nations met.
Harry Kane to score anytime – 5/4 (Betfred)
