Game 1 – Denmark vs Croatia

(Friday, June 10, 2022)

Denmark will feel confident heading into a clash against Croatia, another team on the uptrend as of recent.

After a comeback against one of the world’s best in France, Denmark is now on the international radar, in a big way. Players like Cornelius, Eriksen and Hojberg may all feature in this game, and their consistency shows one of the more solid squads in all of Europe. Never giving up on the match, and always fighting for the last goal, Denmark possesses a strong mental ability compared to most European teams and are a threat if their opponents are lacking on any day they face up.

Croatia, led by Luka Modric, are currently sitting in fourth in a very early edition of the UEFA Nations League and will be looking towards this match to turn things around. The former World Cup finalists are going to be eager to avenge their poor start, and their team knows that they are capable of bigger and better things.

Croatia plays a very reactive game and bases their strategies on how their opponents want to defend. They can sit back in possession as well as hit on the counter, depending on the personnel on the field.

Prediction - Denmark 2-2 Croatia.

Game 2 – England vs Italy

(Saturday, June 11, 2022)

Gareth Southgate will be looking for a spark plug in the England camp after an underwhelming two games to start off the UEFA campaign. Drawing with Germany and losing to Hungary, England knows that their talent level is one of the best. Their inconsistencies need to be addressed, and that comes with the lack of goal-scoring in recent times.

Look for Harry Kane to pick up the pace after scoring his 50th International goal against Germany in injury time. This will be crucial if England wants to avenge their Euro 2022 final, and this would be the perfect place and time to do it.

Italy knows that they will have a tough task ahead of them in England, and their own play has been very subpar to say the least. There is a lot of turning heads when it comes to Italy in world football, and their recent loss to North Macedonia in the World Cup Qualifiers must take the cake.

Prediction - England to win. The attacking firepower will finally be on display for the Three Lions.
