Russia are on course to reach the knockout stages of Euro 2020 despite only picking up three points from their opening two matches ahead of their clash with Denmark.

They fell to a 3-0 defeat against Belgium in their opener, before edging a narrow 1-0 win over Finland courtesy of Aleksei Miranchuk's strike.

The football aspect of Denmark's campaign has largely fallen into secondary position after star man Christian Eriksen suffered a cardiac arrest in their opening defeat to Finland.

The former Tottenham midfielder – who was quickly revived following a superb intervention by medics – has thankfully been discharged from hospital following the awful incident.

Denmark have zero points in the group after losing to both Finland and Belgium, but the players know that a win here could be enough to secure an unlikely third-place qualification spot.

There's plenty of Euro 2020 fixtures still to come with the knockout stages now looming and the last 16 taking shape.

Russia v Denmark team news

The team have already lost veteran Yuri Zhirkov, who was injured during the 3-0 loss against Belgium on Saturday.

Denmark: Eriksen will once again miss the match as he continues his recovery.

The 29-year old's place in midfield will most likely be filled by Brentford's Mathias Jensen, but Andreas Cornelius and Kasper Dolberg are also viable options.

Our prediction: Russia v Denmark

Russia go into the game full of confidence after beating Finland, and attacking threat Artem Dzyuba will cause Denmark's defence problems.

There's no doubt Denmark have added motivation to deliver this tournament after what happened to Eriksen. Although they'll miss his creativity and threat from set-pieces, there's still plenty of talent in the side.

Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg has been one of the bright sparks for the Danes so far and will be the man his teammates turn to for answers when looking to break down Russia's backline.

Our prediction: Russia 1-1 Denmark (6/1 at bet365)
