Germany take on Denmark tonight as they attempt to reach the quarter-finals at Euro 2024.
The hosts have impressed at the tournament so far, even if they did need a 92nd-minute strike from Niclas Fullkrug against Switzerland to keep them unbeaten and wrap up top spot in Group A.

Julian Nagelsmann’s side eased past Scotland and Hungary before that, establishing themselves as one of the favourites to go all the way on home soil, despite expectation being fairly low pre-tournament.
If they are to be crowned European champions for the first time since 1996, they will have to do it the hard way, with a potential last-eight showdown with Spain and the likes of France or Portugal probably waiting beyond that.
Denmark drew all three of their Group C matches to progress as runners-up and will need to improve significantly if they are to enjoy another deep run, as they did at Euro 2020 when reaching the semi-finals.
Date, kick-off time and venue
Germany vs Denmark is scheduled for an 8pm BST kick-off tonight on Saturday June 29, 2024.
The match will take place at BVB Stadion Dortmund.

Germany vs Denmark team news
Germany will be forced into at least one change in defence. Jonathan Tah is suspended after picking up two bookings in the group stage, while Antonio Rudiger has been struggling with a thigh injury but is expected to play after training on Friday.
Nico Schlotterbeck is set to replace Tah at centre-back, with Waldemar Anton potentially coming in too if Rudiger has a setback. There are otherwise not expected to be significant changes, as Fullkrug likely has to settle for a place on the bench again despite his goal against Switzerland.
Denmark have worries over both Christian Eriksen and Thomas Delaney due to illness, with fellow midfielder Morten Hjulmand suspended. Brentford’s Christian Norgaard is also an option to start.
Rasmus Hojlund is expected to keep his place up front, despite managing a total of just two shots across his three appearances at the tournament so far.
Germany vs Denmark prediction
Germany were certainly not at their best against Switzerland, but qualification to the last 16 had already been secured and full focus can be expected to return here.
Denmark have not looked a particularly potent force at the tournament, and even a changed German defence should be good enough to keep them quiet and provide the platform for a routine win.
