Key Players

England: Harry Kane is England's all-time leading goalscorer with 63 goals.
Why You Should Back England
Harry Kane is in the form of his life, coming off a record-breaking season at Bayern Munich where he netted 36 goals in just 32 Bundesliga games, securing his first European Golden Shoe award. Kane has been equally impressive on the international stage, scoring six goals in his last eight matches since the end of April.
The 30-year-old striker's predatory instincts in front of goal make him a constant threat, and he’ll likely be the focal point of England's attack. Over the past 18 months, the Three Lions have been almost unbeatable. Since their 2022 World Cup campaign, England have accumulated seven wins, two draws, and two losses across 11 matches, outscoring their opponents 24-8. This remarkable form has been fueled by a balanced blend of experience and youthful exuberance, making them a formidable adversary for any team.
Why You Should Back Denmark
Denmark boasts a world-class playmaker in Christian Eriksen. The 32-year-old midfielder, who has shown remarkable resilience by overcoming a cardiac arrest during the 2021 European Championships, continues to be the heartbeat of the Danish side.
Eriksen leads Denmark in goals with 42 and delivered a masterclass with his equalizer against Slovenia, beautifully chesting the ball before volleying it past Slovenian keeper Jan Oblak. Denmark's attacking prowess will look to exploit what could be a vulnerable English backline. The new center-back pairing of John Stones and Marc Guehi has limited experience playing together, following the exclusion of Harry Maguire from the roster. This lack of cohesion in defense could provide opportunities for Eriksen and his teammates to capitalize on.
