As for Denmark, Andreas Christensen and Alexander Bah have both overcome injury setbacks to be ready for the opening match.

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.
