Advantage England
But only on head-to-head. These two sides have met 21 times with England winning 12 of those.
In a European Championship semi-final, though, these stats count for little.
England vs Denmark head to head
Are you in for the long-run?
England to win in normal time? Denmark to clinch an extra-time thriller? Or will we see more penalties?

This might take two hours to be decided.

What’s in it for Denmark?
Well, an appearance in the final, something they haven’t managed since lifting the trophy in 1992.
Despite playing for more modest clubs scattered throughout Europe, the Danes are not intimidated by England’s star-studded lineup of household names.
“I feel like we have the qualities to play against everyone. As a team, I would not say they are that much better,” Denmark’s Andreas Christensen said.
Prediction time
With just under two hours left to kick-off, now is as good a time as any to get your predictions in.
Will it be England? Will it be Denmark?

Has football ever come home?’
England’s “Football’s coming home” anthem – roared by fans at Wembley after the Germany game – does not sit well with everyone.
Denmark keeper Kasper Schmeichel took a cheeky swipe at the supposedly triumphalist song, saying: “Has it ever been home? I don’t know, have you ever won it?”
Preview
Denmark will have to do what no team has done against England at the Euro 2020 to reach the tournament final: score a goal.
The Danes recovered from two losses in their opening games of the tournament and will take on England in the second semi-final at Wembley Stadium on Wednesday.
England, meanwhile, have not lost a match or conceded a goal so far at Euro 2020 and will be playing at their national football stadium.
