Our prediction for this match:
Parken stadium in Copenhagen will be packed when Denmark and Switzerland take on each other in a friendly on Saturday evening. The Danes kickstart their preparations for the upcoming EURO 2024 finals and we are positive that Kasper Hjumland’s troops are going to take this warm-up game very seriously. The good news for the hosts is that Manchester United striker Rasmus Hojlund has overcome his injury.
The Rossocrociati, on the other hand, failed to win the previous four games and, no doubt, they are eager to return to winning ways before the showpiece tournament in Germany. Given the attacking potentials of the two sides, we believe that punters from all four corners of the world can find value in betting on both teams to score. As for the away side, Vincent Sierro and Dereck Kutesa have received their first call-ups, with Bayer Leverkusen ace Granit Xhaka making the cut as well.
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 (Switzerland):
While missing the first ever World Cup, Switzerland played at next four, reaching the quarter-finals on three occasions, but they were unable to repeat the success in next six appearances. Nati reached the first knockout stage in 1994, 2006 and 2014, but they couldn’t make the next step.
When it comes to their European Championship appearances, the situation is even worse, as the team only qualified for the 1996, 2004 and 2016 finals, while they automatically qualified for the 2008 tournament together with co-hosts Austria. Switzerland national team of late have profited from the multicultural environment, as they appear to have closed the gap behind top European sides and also adopted a more adventurous style of play.
The new generation is probably the most talented yet, with players like Xherdan Shaqiri, Granit Xhaka, Stephan Lichtsteiner, Ricardo Rodriguez and Valon Behrami all held in high regard. Nati now have a unique chance to try and reach the closing stages of a major tournament as their key men are either at their peak or will be there in the next couple of years.
