Denmark vs Slovenia: Will Denmark defeat Slovenia Today?

The Denmark team is performing impressively in the Euro 2024 qualifiers. They have won 6 matches, drawn one, and lost 1 of those 8 games. They are currently in second place in Group H with 19 points. Nevertheless, they should refrain from relaxing since Kazakhstan occupies the third position and is only four points away from being among the top two players in this tournament. Denmark has emerged winners for the last four games; in their previous match, they defeated San Marino by 2-1.

In Group H, Slovenia is also doing well. It has 19 points and leads the group by four points over Kazhkstan at number three. Although they have fewer resources than many other teams, Slovenia’s results have been commendable. They have defeated all four opponents they met in the latest matches, including the Northern Ireland side in a 1-0 win. Similarly, Slovenia must remain attentive as they could not afford to unwind prematurely during qualification.
