Prediction: 2-1
Sweden
There will be fireworks when Denmark and Sweden go head to head at Parken Stadium in what is expected to be an interesting Scandinavian derby. The Danes booked their place at the Euro 2024 finals without any difficulties and they are now on a quest to prepare in the best way possible for the opener against Slovenia. Celtic midfielder Matt O’Riley has been surprisingly omitted from the Denmark EURO 2024 squad, but all Skov Olsen, Christian Eriksen and Man Utd striker Rasmus Hojlund made the cut.
The Swedes, on the other hand, missed out on a spot at the European Championship finals. As Jon Dahl Tomasson is likely to use Wednesday’s friendly to test as many players as possible, we are tempted to put our money on Denmark this time out. In their last meeting in a friendly Denmark defeated Sweden 2-0 and we predict that history is going to repeat itself.
Highlighted Player (Christian Eriksen):
Christian Eriksen born on 14th of February 1992 is a Danish football who plays as a midfielder for Tottenham Hotspur. Eriksen played in the youth of Odense BK and Ajax Amsterdam where he got picked up by Tottenham Hotspur after 3 seasons.
On 29th of August Eriksen got transferred for 13 million euro and is one of the most expensive Danish football players of all time. Christian Eriksen made his debut in March 2010 for the Danish national team and was the youngest player during the World Cup in 2010.
So far Eriksen played for over 200 club games for Ajax and Tottenham Hotspur. Eriksen is known for his great passing skills and game overview. In his career Eriksen managed to become national champion with Ajax 3 times and won several individual prices for being one of the most talented player of the moment.
Highlighted Team (Sweden):
Sweden are the most successful Nordic side on international stage having been present at major competitions since 1934. Blagult missed out on the 1952 World Cup trophy on home soil as they were beaten by star-studded Brazil side, while they finished in third place at the 1950 and 1994 tournaments, and finishing fourth on their second appearance in 1938.
As far as their European Championship record is concerned, Sweden also achieved their best result in front of home fans, reaching the last four in 1992, and they have since reached the quarter-finals at Euro 1994 in Portugal.
Anders Svensson and Thomas Ravelli are team’s most capped players with over 140 appearances each, but it is strikers Henrik Larsson and Zlatan Ibrahimovic that will go down as the most famous Swedish footballers in history. The later also leads the goalscoring charts with over 60 strikes for the national team and he is widely regarded as one of the most colourful characters, not only in Scandinavia, but in world football.
