Denmark vs Switzerland Betting Tips: Denmark to Win
Though Denmark had a smooth run in the EURO 2020 qualifiers, with four wins and four draws, their journey this time around had some hurdles. Despite these challenges, they managed to secure their spot in this summer’s European Championship in Germany. They achieved this feat by topping Group H, thanks to their superior head-to-head record against Slovenia, a stark contrast to their flawless previous campaign.
The EURO 2024 qualifying cycle concluded disappointingly, with a harsh 0-2 defeat by Northern Ireland in Belfast, ending their five-game winning streak. However, De Rod-Hvide are optimistic about avoiding consecutive failures. They have an undefeated home record against the Swiss throughout their history, having won the last two encounters 2-1 and 1-0.
Furthermore, Kasper Hjulmand’s team has been a formidable force at their home ground, Parken Stadium. Leading up to Saturday’s friendly match, they boast a streak of five successive home victories. In their last 14 home games, they have only faced one defeat, celebrating 12 wins during this impressive run.
When talking about the visiting team, they secured their position in the finals of Europe’s largest national competition for the third time in a row. However, the qualifying campaign was not smooth for Murat Yakin’s team. They were surprised by a 0-1 loss in the crucial top-table match against Romania on the last day of the group stage, eventually ending as runners-up.
The Red Crossess experienced a harsh defeat from Romania, following a series of three consecutive draws against comparatively weaker teams like Belarus, Kosovo, and Israel. What’s worrying is that their only win in their past seven competitive games came from a decisive 3-0 victory over the group’s underdogs, Andorra.
Defensive lapses have dealt serious blows to the Swiss national team over the past couple of years, especially when on foreign soil, enduring 11 consecutive away trips with no clean sheet, and as such, Murat Yakin’s fading side will find it hard to avoid failure in Copenhagen. To put it plainly, the Danish team looks far more composed on the field as of late, formidable in front of their loyal home fans, and thus, we have every confidence that they will kick off 2024 in celebratory style.

Despite receiving a call-up for his national team’s two friendly matches against Switzerland and the Faroe Islands, Barcelona’s defensive midfielder Andreas Christensen felt discomfort during the warm-up ahead of the Atletico Madrid clash, prompting Danish coach Kasper Hjulmand not to take any chances with him.
AS Roma’s right-back Rasmus Kristensen will miss national team duty this month due to muscle issues, while 22-year-old winger Gustav Isaksen, who has impressed with his performances for Rome’s Lazio outfit, has earned his maiden call-up to the national team.

Borussia Dortmund’s star center-back Gregor Kobel has departed from the national camp and is heading back to Germany to focus on preparations for the upcoming clashes with his club, as manager Murat Yakin is unwilling to take any risks with him still recovering from injury.
The newcomers in the national team fold include Vincent Sierro from Toulouse and left-winger Dereck Kutesa, earning their call-ups thanks to their stellar recent forms, while Mainz 05 defender Silvan Widmer will don the Swiss jersey for the first time in a year.
