THE KEY STATS

  • Denmark have won each of their last four U21 EURO matches against Russia
  • Denmark have won their last four U21 EURO final tournament group stage matches. The most recent three without conceding a goal
  • Denmark are unbeaten in their last 14 U21 EURO matches (includes qualifying) – W12 D2. Going back a little further they have lost only two of their last 26 EURO games
  • Denmark have not drawn any of their last 15 U21 EURO final tournament group stage matches
  • Denmark have not failed to score in their last 26 U21 EURO matches (includes qualifying). The last time was against Germany at the 2017 finals
  • Denmark have conceded more than one goal in only one of their last 14 U21 EURO matches (includes qualifying)
  • Russia have lost six of their eight games at the U21 final tournament
  • Russia have lost four of their previous five U21 EURO final tournament group stage matches
  • Russia have conceded a total of 11 goals in their previous five U21 EURO final tournament group stage matches

THE PREDICTION

Denmark come into this having pretty much qualified but they still need a point to guarantee progress into the knockout stages. They backed up their 1-0 win over France with a 2-0 win over Iceland in a calm and professional display. Russia are reliant on victory and France slipping up due to their head-to-head record against France being a 2-0 defeat. There has been a total of ten goals in the four group matches and five of those came in one game. This game should follow a similar theme so under 2.5 goals looks possible.
