Germany have had some mixed results this year but are still fancied to prove just too strong for Denmark in their Women’s Euro 2022 opener.
Die Nationalelf may not have things all their own way, though, as the Red and White always play in a positive manner going forward.
Let’s go with 3.2 for the favourites to oblige and both teams to score as our first Germany Women vs Denmark Women prediction.
Germany Women Odds
Germany dominated this tournament between 1989 and 2013, winning eight of the nine renewals during that time.
However, an 18-year reign as champions ended when they only made it as far as the quarter-finals in 2017, going down 2-1 to the Danes.
Die Nationalelf also exited at the last-eight stage of the 2019 World Cup and Martina Voss-Tecklenburg’s side struggled at this year’s inaugural Arnold Clarke Cup.
They managed to snatch a late draw versus Spain but then went down 1-0 to Canada and 3-1 to England, so now have it all to prove.
April’s 3-2 loss away to Serbia in a World Cup 2023 qualifier was another blow, but crushing Switzerland 7-0 in a friendly last month should have lifted morale.
Wolfsburg midfielder Svenja Huth is the chief creator in this team, while Bayern Munich forward Lea Schuller has a prolific record for Germany, with 25 goals in 39 games.
Captain Alex Popp, an Olympic gold medalist in 2016 and three-time Champions League winner, will also be fired up after missing the last two renewals through injury.
Voss-Tecklenburg, who featured in four of those European triumphs as a player, likes to keep the tempo high.
Looking at the Germany Women vs Denmark Women odds, we fancy 3.5 for her team to prevail by exactly one goal.
Denmark Women Odds
Denmark enjoyed a fairytale run to the final in 2017 before losing out 4-2 to the Netherlands and again upset the odds in qualifying for this event.
They topped their pool thanks largely to a 3-1 away win over Italy, who had not lost at home in more than five years.
Italy gained some revenge at February’s Algarve Cup but the Danes are doing well in World Cup 2023 qualifying and arrived in England buoyed by three competitive warm-up friendlies.
Lars Sondergaard’s side posted 2-1 victories over Austria and Brazil before going down by the same scoreline against Norway.
Prolific Chelsea forward Pernille Harder is the captain and leads from the front, scoring 68 goals from 134 international appearances.
Sanne Troelsgaard, Katrine Veje and Nadia Nadim are other centurions, while Real Madrid wing-back Sofie Svava and Signe Bruun of Manchester United are younger players to watch out for.
The Red and White won’t be daunted by the occasion, but we just feel 8.0 for them to go down 2-1 is a good option for our Germany Women vs Denmark Women betting tips.
