2014 World Cup champions Germany play Denmark on Wednesday in an international friendly as both sides prepare for the upcoming European Championship.
The Germans topped their group for Euro qualification. They ended the qualifiers with 21 points from eight matches played, registering seven wins and one loss. They had an impressive goal difference of +23, outlining the team's proficiency at both ends of the pitch.
Germany manager Joachim Loew is set to step down following the conclusion of Euro 2020, and he would certainly like to end his tenure on a high note with a tournament win.
The coach made headlines for recalling Thomas Muller and Mats Hummels into the international setup. In 2019, he ruled out their selection following a disastrous 2018 World Cup campaign.
Meanwhile, Denmark finished second in their group, amassing 16 points from eight games. They were unbeaten throughout the qualifiers and ended with four wins and four draws.
Germany vs Denmark Head-to-Head
The two international sides have played five matches against each other. Denmark have won two games, while Germany surprisingly have won only one. One game ended in a draw.
Germany and Denmark last met in a friendly in 2017. Christian Eriksen's first-half strike gave the Danes a 1-0 lead, but Joshua Kimmich's late equalizer ensured that both teams settled for a draw.
