As a traditional powerhouse in Europe, the German team has a deep heritage. Solid performance on both offensive and defensive ends.

The return of midfielder Kroos has given the ball a step up in terms of midfield control and attacking combing. On the offensive end, Muller is not old, and in the center forward position is Havitz, who plays for Arsenal in the Premier League, his individual strength and team cooperation are excellent, and the 1.93-meter-tall Hawitz has a great advantage in high-altitude balls.

Can the "red dynamite" recreate the glory of its predecessors in this European Cup? When Denmark meets Germany again in the 1/8 finals of the European Championship, more confidence and perseverance will be needed. With the return of Christian Eriksen, the heart of midfield, he brings more creativity to the team in midfield. In particular, more firepower was given to the strikers.
Denmark have been solid defensively at this tournament, but have been weak in attack, scoring just two goals in three games in the group stage. Against a stronger German team as a whole and strong at both ends of the pitch, Denmark's backline will be put to the test. On the offensive end, if you want to play a quick threat, it will be very difficult to penetrate the German defence.
In this game, the German team will hold high the banner of attack, relying on its strong offensive firepower to try to tear apart the opponent's defense. The Danish team, because of the overall strength gap, will rely on solid defense to find quick counterattack opportunities to compete with the German team.
Score prediction for this game: Germany beat Denmark 1-0 or 2-0.
