Russia vs Denmark Prediction

In one of the final matches of Group B, Russia will be on the road for the first time at Euro 2020, with Denmark playing host at Parken Stadium in Copenhagen, on 22 June 2020. This will be a meeting of two nations meeting for the first time competitively. Kick-off for Russia vs Denmark is at 21:00, local time.

How Russia Qualified for Euro 2020

Finishing as comfortable runners-up to Belgium, losing just twice – both times to the Red Devils. Artem Dzyuba was the standout performer for Russia in qualifying, netting nine in 10, with Denis Cheryshev propping up a fine campaign with an additional five goals en route to this summer’s tournament.

How Denmark Qualified for Euro 2020

One-time European champions Denmark will be convinced they have the best chance to follow-up on qualification from a tough looking group involved Switzerland and Denmark, by having home advantage in all of their Group B games. The Danes remained unbeaten throughout qualification. Manager Åge Hareide will depart as manager after Euro 2020, so will hope to end his tenure on a high.

Russia vs Denmark Stats and Analysis

There’s not so much to go on in terms of a head-to-head record, as Russia and Denmark have surprisingly only ever met one time, in 2012, with the Russians coming out victorious in a friendly fixture.

Stanislav Cherchesov’s side averaged 3.3 goals per game, scoring 33 times and conceding on average 0.8 per game in qualifying.

Denmark finished as top scorers in their qualification group with 23 goals in eight games, an impressive average of 2.88 goals per game. The Danes are unbeaten at home competitively since 2016.
