Netherlands vs Denmark prediction
Both Netherlands and Denmark demonstrated their resilience, fitness and ability to keep going and score late under pressure in the opening round of group stage fixtures. Whilst Netherlands rescued a point against Finland with a 93rdminute equaliser after having been two goals down at one stage, Demark scored twice inside the final ten minutes to defeat Ukraine 2-3 in an absolute thriller.
When taking into account what we saw in those two matches, specifically from an attacking point of view, it would be no surprise if neither team had any problems creating goalscoring opportunities and Netherlands in particular will need to take risks offensively in a bid to try and force a positive result. With that in mind, backing both teams to score stands out as a play worth making for this game.
