Our expert tipster has taken a look at the Euro 2020 quarter-final between Czech Republic and Denmark and sees this as one of the most awkward matches to pick a result for, given both sides’ respective tournaments.

Czech Republic v Denmark Preview
When qualifying for Euro 2020 started in 2018, the prospect of Denmark facing the Czech Republic in the final eight of the tournament would have seemed almost as unlikely as the tournament being played in 2021.
But here we are, and what a match we have on our hands. Both sides were never expected to make it to the semi-finals, and now it is guaranteed that one of the Czechs or the Danes will be playing in the final four.
History seems to dictate that this game will be played pretty tightly, and we could be heading once again to extra-time to decide who faces either England or Ukraine.
Despite the Czech Republic’s incredible underdog story, expect to see the neutral fans rally around Denmark due to their support of the squad for what they have gone through in this tournament.
Czech Republic v Denmark Betting Odds
The oddsmakers have named the Danes as slight favourites to get through, and don’t seem to have much faith in the Czech Republic getting through.
Remember that this is a knockout game, so if it goes to extra-time and/or penalties and the team you have backed to win goes through, you have still lost the bet. You must bet on the ‘to qualify’ market to back a team to go through via any method.
Denmark are 21/20 for victory (4/7 to qualify), with the draw a 9/4 shot and the Czechs coming in as slight underdogs with a price of 59/20 (29/20 to qualify).
Czech Republic v Denmark Betting Tips
Odds are correct at the time of publication and are subject to change.
Denmark to win – 21/20
At the end of the day, on paper the Netherlands should have beaten Czech Republic, and Denmark should too. We like this result at evens, and think it is the most likely outcome, even though it won’t be making you rich.
Last Goal: Czech Republic – 8/5
This will be a cagey match, and we reckon that if the Czech Republic are to win it, the result will be a low scoring one, so they’ll be the last team to score. This is a good price for the market, and we’d definitely give it a look..
Patrik Schick to score anytime – 14/5
Ronaldo and Benzema just crashed out, and as if he needed any more inspiration to help his country qualify for the semi-finals of this bizarre tournament, Patrick Schick could get himself to the top of the list for the golden boot if he just hits the net once in this game. It would be a massive coup for the Bayer Leverkusen man, and would put the icing on the cake of an incredible tournament.
