Euro 2024: Who could Denmark face in round of 16?
The Red-White side finished second in Group C.
After a boring draw with Serbia, Denmark finished second in Euro 2024 Group C because they had a better discipline record than Slovenia.
In a lacklustre match in Munich, Denmark emerged as the superior team despite neither side playing to their full ability. Denmark had to be divided based on the number of yellow cards they received, as they finished with the same record as Slovenia.
Although Slovenian coach Novakovic Milivoje was also convicted in the opening game—a booking that UEFA does not include on their discipline statistics page—both teams received six yellow cards on the field, giving Denmark the narrowest edge in final standings.
“We are representing Danish football and we have to be happy about it,” said Denmark manager Kasper Hjulmand.
“It’s special of course when you play the hosts. It is a fantastic football country with a lot of passion. I really love football here in Germany and playing against them with the Danish team – it cannot be better. I can’t wait.”

Who could Denmark face in round of 16?
Denmark’s 0-0 draw with eliminated Serbia guaranteed them a spot in the round of 16 of Euro 2024.
The Danes knew going into the last Group C matchday that a win would send them through as champions, but Kasper Hjolmund’s team was forced to make do for second place, which means they will play Germany on Saturday in the round of 16.
However, with Novak Djokovic spectating from the Munich stands, Serbia needed a victory to have any hope of moving forward. Dragan Stojkovic’s team were unable to cross the finish line.
They had their opportunities. Aleksandar Mitrovic, who had two penalty appeals turned away, went just wide, while Luka Jovic had a goal disallowed.
