In a competitive section featuring England and Serbia, both nations will see this opening fixture as vital in their bid to reach the round of sixteen. Denmark is the favorite to claim all three points, but Slovenia’s recent form suggests they will prove a handful in Group C. Unbeaten in 11 of their last 12 matches, including each of their last six, Matjaž Kek’s side has plenty of confidence ahead of this weekend’s fixture. Slovenia has a serene qualification campaign, qualifying behind Denmark in the same section with 22 points from ten games played. Returning to this competition for only the second time in their history, Slovenians will fancy their chances of claiming a first-ever win at the European Championships. Denmark has found some strong form in the past year, scoring victories in nine of their last 12 matches. The Danes have seen BTTS in five of their last eight matches and in six of their previous eight European Championship matches since 2012. Slovenia and Denmark have seen both teams net in five of their last seven matches, and in two of three previous games at the finals of this competition.

Slovenian boss Matjaž Kek has chosen a 26-man squad with six players with 50 or more caps, with Jan Oblak as captain and Benjamin Sesko as the forward, marking his 66th cap.

Danish manager Hjulmand has a 26-man squad available for the upcoming match against Manchester United, with notable absentees Martin Braithwaite, Jesper Lindstrøm, and Matt O’Riley, and Rasmus Højlund leading the Denmark forward line.
