Julian Nagelsmann’s side eased past Scotland and Hungary before that, establishing themselves as one of the favourites to go all the way on home soil, despite expectation being fairly low pre-tournament.
If they are to be crowned European champions for the first time since 1996, they will have to do it the hard way, with a potential last-eight showdown with Spain and the likes of France or Portugal probably waiting beyond that.
Denmark drew all three of their Group C matches to progress as runners-up and will need to improve significantly if they are to enjoy another deep run, as they did at Euro 2020 when reaching the semi-finals.

Germany vs Denmark team news
Nico Schlotterbeck is set to replace Tah at centre-back, with Waldemar Anton potentially coming in too if Rudiger has a setback. There are otherwise not expected to be significant changes, as Fullkrug likely has to settle for a place on the bench again despite his goal against Switzerland.
Rasmus Hojlund is expected to keep his place up front, despite managing a total of just two shots across his three appearances at the tournament so far.

Germany vs Denmark prediction
Germany were certainly not at their best against Switzerland, but qualification to the last 16 had already been secured and full focus can be expected to return here.
Denmark have not looked a particularly potent force at the tournament, and even a changed German defence should be good enough to keep them quiet and provide the platform for a routine win.
