Euro 2020, Quarter-final, Czech Republic Vs Denmark: When And Where To Get Live Streaming In India

Few Euro 2020 fans will forget Patrik Schick in hurry. Schick spotted the goalkeeper off his line and launched a looping shot from just inside the halfway line, to give his team a two-goal lead against Scotland in the European Championship opener for his side. The Bayer Leverkusen forward has been instrumental in his teams’ success in this event. Czech Republic Profile | Denmark Profile | News

The win against Scotland was followed by a 1-1 draw against Croatia. They lost 0-1 to England but did enough to sneak into the last 16 courtesy third place finish in Group D.

In Round of 16 they knocked out potential tournament winners Netherlands 2-0 to set up clash with Denmark. Denmark have been on a rollercoaster ride so far.

From almost losing their most famous player Christan Eriksen during their opening match against Finland to team regrouping and managing to find focus and qualify as the second placed team, the Danes have managed to surprise everyone with their resilience.  They scored four against Russia to make it to round of 16 and then netted four against Wales to enter the quarterfinals.

Denmark will be favourites to win this tie but no one can question the fighting abilities of Czech Republic.

Czech Republic’s biggest win has come against Denmark whom they defeated 3-0 in the 2004 Euros.
