DENMARK and Serbia are both in the run-in for a Euro 2024 last-16 spot – and TONIGHT will be the decider on what team goes through along with England.
The Serbians chances of making the knockout stages were looking very slim when Slovenia took a 69th minute lead in their last outing.
However, Luka Jovic’s 95th minute equaliser kept Serbia’s Euro 2024 dreams alive.
Group C is perfectly poised as all teams can still throw their hat in the ring for the last-16, and it’s hard to call who will make it through.

Questions will be asked back home
Serbian fans will not be pleased that their side fell at the first hurdle once again in a major tournament.
Impressing in qualifying as usual, they just struggle to make the grade at major finals.
Despite all their attacking talent, they could only muster a single goal in the entire group stage.
Danes finish group unbeaten
Despite only amassing three points in their four games, Denmark finish second in the group and make the knockout phase.
They will focus on the positives, with the main one being remaining unbeaten against Slovenia, England and Serbia.
Denmark will face hosts Germany in the ’round of 16′.
Eriksen frustrated in final game
Denmark’s talisman tried to unlock this Serbian defence with his range of passing but just could not find that killer pass for the goal they craved.
He also had their best chance of the game in the first half when his shot from the edge of the box was well saved by the Serbian keeper.
One thing is for sure, Eriksen will know that his side have to up their game when it comes to the next round.
Goals in short supply in Munich
This was not a game that kept the keepers busy by any stretch of the imagination.
The draw, along with other results, means that Denmark finish second in Group C.
England top the group but their goalless draw with Slovenia could see the minnows go through as one of the best third-placed sides.
Having qualified for their first Euros, they are now staring down the barrel of the knockout phase.
