Our Denmark vs Iceland Prediction
Iceland have been one of the surprise packages in this year’s European Championship. They are back in the semis for the first time since 2010, but a major reason they got to this stage was due to their record in the preliminary round, as they were not exactly impressive in the main round.
Barring the loss to Portugal, which came after they had already booked their place in the main round, Denmark have looked like the team to beat in this competition, and we feel they will move on to the final from this clash. Our Denmark vs Iceland prediction is Denmark -3.5.
