Match previews

Euro 2020 will be Joachim Low's final tournament as Germany manager but recent results do not suggest it will be a memorable one.

Die Mannschaft go into this summer's European Championship having lost their last competitive match 2-1 to minnows North Macedonia in the World Cup qualifiers and they were also hammered 6-0 by Spain in their final Nations League contest last year.

Veteran defender Mats Hummels has been recalled to the side but defensive issues persist and they face an uphill battle in a Euro 2020 group which also features France and Portugal.

But they could also struggle in this week's friendly with Denmark, who could be dark horses in this year's competition.

The Danes boast a solid spine with Simon Kjaer at the back, Kasper Schmeichel in goal and Christian Eriksen a top creative outlet in midfield.

Even though the level of their opponents was not brilliant, Denmark have started their World Cup qualification campaign in emphatic fashion with three wins out of three, 14 goals scored and none conceded against Israel, Moldova and Austria.

Antonio Rudiger, Kai Havertz, Timo Werner and Ilkay Gundogan are all expected to be rested for Germany, enhancing appeal about backing Denmark in the draw-no-bet market.

Norway failed to qualify for Euro 2020 but they have named a strong squad for this week's friendly with Luxembourg.

Star striker Erling Haaland is involved along with attacking midfielder Martin Odegaard and after scoring 12 times in six matches at the last Nations League, Norway could be worth backing giving up goal on the handicap.
