Euro 2020: Denmark vs Finland: Dream11 prediction, head to head, key players, kick off time in India

Bengaluru, June 11: Scandinavian rivals Denmark and Finland face-off on Saturday as both nations begin their UEFA Euro 2020 campaign in Group B. It will be the first meeting between the countries since 2011, and Denmark will be confident of a win after a season in which they have lost only twice in 13 matches.

On the other hand, Finland will appear for a major tournament for the first time in its history. Considering the current circumstances, they will surely have to play out of their skins to progress from the group stage.

Match Details

Date: June 12, 2021

Time: 9:30 pm (IST)

Venue: Parken Stadium, Copenhagen, Denmark.

TV Channel: Sony Ten 2 SD & HD/SonyLIV, JioTV

Key Players

Denmark: Christian Eriksen is likely to be the linchpin of the team, supplying the deliveries for the likes of Martin Braithwaite and Yussuf Poulsen. Centre-back Vestergaard's form too will be a key factor.

Finland: Only Harry Kane (12), Eran Zahavi and Cristiano Ronaldo (both 11) scored more goals than Teemu Pukki (10) during qualifying for this tournament and it's needless to say the team will rely mostly on his form.

Dream11 Prediction:

The Denmark squad are understandably the favourites to win this tie, so it will be better if you select more players from them. However, Finland are capable of punching above their weight and can frustrate the Danes for spells in the match.
