Ones to watch

Benjamin Sesko has enjoyed an impressive debut season with RB Leipzig since joining from RB Salzburg last summer, scoring 18 goals in 42 appearances.

His form has even attracted interest from Arsenal, Manchester United and Chelsea.

Rasmus Hojlund scored seven goals in Denmark’s Euro 2024 qualifying campaign.

The striker has also impressed for Manchester United since joining from Atalanta last summer.

Hojlund can cause problems for defenders with his tireless work ethic and clinical finishing.

Head-to-Head

These two sides have met six times in the past, with Slovenia yet to beat the Red and Whites.

Denmark have won on five occasions, with one fixture ending in a draw.

SunSport prediction

Slovenia are yet to beat Denmark, but given the outcome of the qualifying group this could be a very close game.

Denmark arguably have a slightly stronger overall squad than their opponents, which could give them an edge.

Prediction: Slovenia 1-2 Denmark
