Just over 24 hours before Slovenia’s opening match at Euro 2024, a look at the statistics of head-to-head matches with Denmark is significant. This shows that Slovenia will have to contend with a very negative tradition in Stuttgart. Denmark is a team that Slovenia has never actually beaten, despite having faced them six times. Only against England has Slovenia played as many matches without a win. The Northerners have won 5 of these encounters, scoring 14 goals and conceding just 3. A goal difference of +11 in Denmark’s favor says a lot.
However, traditions are meant to be broken. And if anyone is a master at this, it’s Matjaž Kek. He has broken quite a few milestones in the past. He led Slovenia to its first victory in major competitions, to its first victory against Croatia, and also Serbia. There are likely other interesting statistical tidbits that confirm if anyone is the right person to solve the Danish football puzzle, it is Matjaž Kek…
Speaking of Denmark, it is worth noting that they have been in very good form for some time. They haven’t lost this year and have only lost twice in the past two years while celebrating 10 wins. They are currently on a streak of three consecutive wins.
