Russia vs Denmark Match Preview

In this UEFA EURO 2020, Round 3, Group B matchup, Russia faces Denmark at Parken Stadium, Copenhagen, in front of 25000 spectators.

Russia prevailed 1-0 over Finland in the previous round, actually, it was a big relief for the Russians who are still alive to qualify at the knock-out stage. Even they were pretty average in the first half, they found a late goal that sent them with a significant advantage to the locker rooms. This goal was a real boost for them who were slightly improved in the second half, keeping these valuable points.

After this outcome, Russia could play for two results in this one, as they will qualify at the knock-out stage even with a draw, providing that Belgium defeats Finland at the same time.

Denmark was quite competitive against Belgium in the previous round, however, they couldn’t avoid a narrow loss (2-1). They were clearly the better side in the first half, scoring an early goal, while they lost some decent chances to extend their lead. In the second half, Belgium was significantly improved after Kevin De Bruyne entering the pitch and deservedly revert the game scoring twice.

This is a must-win game for Denmark as they need all three points tonight combined with a loss of the Finns against Belgium. 

This is a crucial match for both sides tonight in Parken Stadium, Copenhagen, actually this is a final game for them. Russia has the advantage to play for two outcomes, while Denmark needs to win desperately. The truth is that Denmark deserved so far something more than losses and I expect them to win in this one, as they are a better side than the Russians, having also the home advantage. Denmark to win is my pick, offered at 1.77 odds.
