Slovenia vs Denmark Prediction
Betting sites claim that Denmark are the favourites. However, Slovenia is capable of taking a point or at least scoring. Slovenia have lost only two official games in the last two years. There has been only one game with Slovenia failing to score. Besides, Slovenia has scored at least a goal in all their three previous head-to-head games against Denmark.
Denmark have some problems in their defensive line. It was obvious in the last 4 games of the qualifying tournament. Denmark conceded goals in their games against Slovenia, Northern Ireland, Kazakhstan and even San Marino.
Our prediction is Slovenia to score at
1.70
