Denmark and Spain are level on three points apiece in Group B and a quarter-final against hosts England is up for grabs when they meet in west London.
Both teams have lost to Germany and beaten Finland but Spain’s superior goal difference means they have a slight advantage heading into the final match.
We expect them to take control early on though and appeal at 1.80 to be leading at both half-time and full-time as our opening Denmark Women vs Spain Women prediction.
Denmark Women Odds
Denmark were thrashed 4-0 by Germany in their opener so went into their second game under pressure to keep their qualification hopes alive but secured a 1-0 victory over Finland.
It was a tense encounter at Stadium MK but captain Pernille Harder, the Chelsea forward, nodded in from close range with 18 minutes left after the ball had bounced back down off the crossbar.
The Danes were also indebted to goalkeeper Lene Christensen, who produced an acrobatic one-handed save in stoppage time to push over a 20-yard strike from substitute Jenny Danielsson which looked set for the top corner.
Another win is needed against Spain to reach the last eight but Denmark are eight places below their opponents in the world rankings and lost 3-0 in a friendly when the teams last met in June 2021.
They must go for broke here but that just leads us to take 2.25 for both teams to score in the Denmark Women vs Spain Women odds.
Spain Women Odds
Spain’s hope of Euro 2022 glory suffered a huge setback on the eve of the tournament when Ballon d’Or winner Alexia Putellas was ruled out by injury.
In her absence they struggled to break down a stubborn German rearguard in a 2-0 defeat on Tuesday.
They put four goals past Finland in their opener though and did have opportunities against Germany.
Lucia Garcia fired into the side netting after being played through on goal and Mariona Caldentey was denied by a fine save from Merle Frohms during the second half.
Coach Jorge Vilda will now need to regroup his squad quickly and said: “I hope this will help us for the next game and for the future.
“We have to prepare ourselves mentally. After the goal, we may have played our best 30 minutes.”
Spain only need a point so could be forgiven for being cautious if they get their noses in front here and victory by exactly one goal at 3.60 completes our Denmark Women vs Spain Women betting tips.
