Denmark vs Slovenia prediction

Denmark’s players have been afforded an opportunity to reset and reflect on their group stage campaign so far, which sees them still without a point after losing their four matches played. Defence has been their biggest problem as the Danish players are simply unable to keep out their opponents for a significant period of time.

Slovenia are coming directly off the back of having to face Group B heavy hitters Canada and that after being shutout 6-0 in embarrassing fashion by Sweden and losing a gut-wrencher to Slovakia via shootout. They keep taking punches and if Denmark are to mount a late rally, it simply must start here. Taking into account their extra rest, back the Danes to edge out Slovenia for their first win of the tournament.
