Slovenia vs Denmark
INSIGHTS
Pre Match
1
Slovenia have never beaten Denmark in their six previous meetings in all competitions, losing on five occasions (D1). They were in the same qualifying group for UEFA EURO 2024: their two encounters produced a draw in Ljubljana (1-1) followed by a Denmark home win (2-1).
2
Slovenia will be making their second appearance at the UEFA EURO, their first participation dating back to 2000. 24 years equals the second longest gap between two appearances at the tournament, the longest belonging to Hungary (44 years).
3
At EURO 2000, Slovenia failed to win a single game (D2 L1) whilst Zlatko Zahovič scored three of their four goals. It included drawing the opening match 3-3 against FR Yugoslavia, after having been 3-0 up. It’s the only time a team has failed to win a EURO match after having led by 3+ goals.
4
Slovenia collected seven wins and 22 points in UEFA EURO 2024 qualifying, both records for them in a major tournament qualifying campaign (World Cup + EURO).
5
Denmark are making their 10th appearance at the UEFA EURO. They won the tournament in 1992 – they’d qualified after Yugoslavia were disqualified as a result of war in the Balkans.
