The Danish midfielder has an interesting fact that not many players will be able to lay claim to, Hojbjerg was fouled at least once in every European Championship qualifier. He played 90 minutes in eight of the ten matches, coming on in the last match in Northern Ireland and even managed to be fouled in the final 20 minutes or so.

A lot of Denmark’s play goes through Hojbjerg and this seems to have been picked up on by opposition managers who will try to put some pressure on the Tottenham midfielder. By and large this has been fairly ineffective as Hojbjerg has been quite press resistant but he is also happy to take a foul to retain possession as well.

He is averaging 1.35 fouls won over the last 30 internationals.

The young centre forward from RB Leipzig is poised to be one of the breakout stars of this tournament, but it is his fouls record that most interests us here.

He is a physical beast of a man who has only just turned 21 and he is not afraid to use his size to try to retain possession of the ball. He has committed at least one foul in 12 of his last 13 competitive starts for Slovenia, committing 1.28 fouls per 90, but they are all very well spread out across his matches.

This may not be a great bet for multiple fouls, but for sheer consistency of committing at least one, Sesko looks a strong price to be added to the bet builder.

Maehle rose to prominence in the last Euros for his excellent attacking raids from wing back and his ability to play on both sides of the pitch has certainly helped his career.

Maehle has remained in and around the Danish side in the intervening years and looks likely to start again in this European Championship, though it is uncertain whether he will play on the left or right. Either way, he is a good attacking outlet for Denmark, and in a game in which Denmark should have the shot superiority his price for two or more shots makes some appeal.

In his last ten international starts Maehle has shot twice or more six times, with 21 attempts in that time.

Denmark emerged in the research as a team to watch for corners at this tournament.

They actually led all of European qualifying for corners per match with an average of 8.2 corners per qualifier.

This is no fluke, it would appear. When researching stats from the 2022 World Cup, despite Denmark’s really poor overall performance in that tournament they also had the second-highest corner average of any European nation in that tournament with 7 per match.

To be able to include an over 5.5 line in this bet builder looks to be a really interesting leg of the bet, especially when Denmark are expected to be on the front foot.

The Crystal Palace central defender is a big aerial threat in both boxes.

Crystal Palace use Andersen as a key target from corners and although Denmark will also likely have Jannik Vestergaard in the team, who is taller than Andersen, it is the Palace man who is the more aggressive attacker of a ball and probably the bigger goal threat. Vestergaard can often be used as the decoy in set piece setup to allow Andersen a clearer run at the delivery, which is bound to be excellent from Christian Eriksen.

Andersen is actually averaging over a shot per 90 in competitive internationals going back to the World Cup group stage. He managed four shots in his last competitive international against Northern Ireland and despite two blanks before that, he had shots in seven consecutive internationals, including in each of the three World Cup matches.

Jonas Wind has made himself a dependable part of this Danish first team with consistently excellent performances for the national team.

He has a good goal contributions record in recent seasons and three goals and four assists during the qualification period. From the seven matches that he started, Wind produced a goal contribution in four of them, with two other assists coming as an impact substitute in the second halves of matches.

While Rasmus Hojlund gets a lot of chances and xG built up, Jonas Wind is a great foil for Hojlund and is intelligent enough to fill in gaps and take his opportunities when he is needed. He can assist Hojlund, or he could get on the end of something himself.
