England will seek to book their place in the knockout stages of Euro 2024 on Thursday, June 20, when they face Denmark in Frankfurt.
Gareth Southgate's team got off to a winning start against Serbia, with Jude Bellingham scoring the only goal of a game where the Three Lions' performance deteriorated after a sparkling first half-hour.
Denmark's performance against Slovenia followed a similar trajectory but they paid a price after Christian Eriksen's emotional striker, with Erik Janza securing a 1-1 draw 13 minutes from time.
Kasper Hjulmand's team have a score to settle after losing to England in the semifinals of Euro 2020.
They led through Mikkel Damsgaard's free-kick, although Simon Kjaer's own goal had England level before halftime. The game was still level after 90 minutes, and the decisive moment arrived when Raheem Sterling won a penalty.
Kasper Schmeichel saved Harry Kane's spot-kick, but the England captain reacted sharply to dispatch the rebound.

England vs. Denmark lineups & team news
Luke Shaw continued to train away from his team-mates as he builds match fitness, so the game in Frankfurt probably comes too soon for the Manchester United left-back to start.
Gareth Southgate could stick with an unchanged XI from the Serbia game, giving the Trent Alexander-Arnold midfield experiment another chance to bed in. Conor Gallagher and Kobbie Mainoo appeared as substitutes at the weekend and are the most likely alternatives to the Liverpool star.
England projected starting lineup (4-2-3-1): Pickford (GK) — Walker, Stones, Guehi, Trippier — Alexander-Arnold, Rice — Foden, Bellingham, Saka — Kane.
Kasper Hjulmand could similarly field an unchanged side, although Joakim Maehle could provide an attacking outlet at wing-back.
Manchester United striker Rasmus Hojlund has seven goals in 15 international caps and will lead the line for his country once more.
Denmark projected starting lineup (3-4-1-2): Schmeichel (GK) — Andersen, Christensen, Vestergaard — Bah, Hjulmand, Hojbjerg, Kristiansen — Eriksen — Wind, Hojlund.
England vs. Denmark prediction
- Score prediction: England 2-2 Denmark
You have to go back to a 2014 friendly for the last time England beat Denmark in 90 minutes. The suffocating tension of that Euro 2020 semifinal came after a pair of Nations League meetings earlier in the 2020/21 season when the Scandinavians won 1-0 at Wembley and shared a 0-0 draw in Copenhagen.
Both teams taking a grip on their opening games before letting it slip suggests each will have their moments in the ascendency during this match. Despite England's superior quality on paper, two teams who know each other well while grasping for their best form might prove hard to separate once more.
