Slovenia v Denmark team news: Maehle only on the bench

Day three of this European Championship continues with team news from the Group C clash between Slovenia and Denmark. It kicks off at 17:00 BST in Stuttgart.

Familiar names Christian Eriksen (€7.0m), Rasmus Hojlund (€7.5m) and Kasper Schmeichel (€5.0m) all start.

However, the main Danish talking point regards the lack of Joakim Maehle (€5.5m), with Alexander Bah (€4.5m) and Victor Kristiansen (€4.5m) instead preferred as wing-backs.

During qualifiers, Maehle was the second-best defender for attempts (16) and shots on target (seven), whilst being number one for big chances (four). He even scored against today’s opponents in last November’s meeting.

Narrowly behind Maehle on three big chances was Zan Karnicnik (€5.0m). He does make the Slovenia line-up, alongside stars Jan Oblak (€5.0m) and Benjamin Sesko (€7.0m).

MATCHDAY 1 TEAM NEWS

Slovenia XI – Oblak; Karnicnik, Drkusic, Bijol, Janza; Stojanovic, Cerin, Elsnik; Sporar, Sesko, Mlakar

Denmark XI – Schmeichel; Andersen, Vestergaard, Christensen; Bah, Hjulmand, Hojbjerg, Kristiansen; Eriksen; Wind, Hojlund

      I'm betting on over 2.5 goals during the group stage. Easy money.

      1. jacob1989

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          8 months, 23 days ago

          Sadly no. I should have. I still think I'm gonna keep doing it.

          1. jacob1989
            • 3 Years
            8 months, 23 days ago

              • 14 Years
              8 months, 23 days ago

              Ah well. I still think it's a good bet throughout the groups.

    Who thought Denmark Slovenia would be the most exciting game?

    1. Bluetiger1
      • 2 Years
      8 months, 23 days ago

      I have been very impressived with the opening games to date -
      normally the first games are boring / tactically games aim
      to be still in the tournament - don't lose which is why I
      always feel from third game in group the tournament really
      comes alive - however todate/been better than expected

      1. jacob1989
        • 3 Years
        8 months, 23 days ago

        Yes true..matches have been entertaining and attacking

    1. jacob1989
      • 3 Years
      8 months, 23 days ago

      He has come. Will get u 1 point

    2. FPL Blow-In
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 months, 23 days ago

      I’m sorry I didn’t see him come on!

      1. jacob1989
        • 3 Years
        8 months, 23 days ago

        Happened when the Slovenians were celebrating the equaliser

  8. F4L
    • 10 Years
    8 months, 23 days ago

    who is a player that has caught your eye so far that wasn't template before the tournament?

    pedri and frattesi were very impressive imo

    1. jacob1989
      • 3 Years
      8 months, 23 days ago

      Probably aeschiber or whatever his name is.
      Eriksen too

    2. JBG
      • 6 Years
      8 months, 23 days ago

      Barella

    3. FPL Blow-In
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 months, 23 days ago

      Musiala was frigging class

      1. jacob1989
        • 3 Years
        8 months, 23 days ago

        Well he wasnt template only bcoz wirtz was 1m cheaper.

      2. FPL Blow-In
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        8 months, 23 days ago

        I captained him too. Own Frattesi also and was unlucky with that one

    4. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      8 months, 23 days ago

      Aebischer. He's so cheap in most fantasy formats. Should have been the budget mid enabler.

      Musiala has also been impressive but I was considering him.

      1. jacob1989
        • 3 Years
        8 months, 23 days ago

        .i would have considered him..had i known he exists. Never heard of this bloke forever

    5. F4L
      • 10 Years

      thanks all

  9. panda07

    I can see this Slovenian team causing England problems.

    1. F4L
      • 10 Years
      8 months, 23 days ago

      yeah potentially honestly surprised southgate is putting taa next to rice, just rice protecting the back 4 (makeshift as well) will lead to chances for the opposition.

      relying on the front 5 + impact subs to blow teams away, hope it works as planned

      1. jacob1989
        • 3 Years
        8 months, 23 days ago

        Lets see if eng beat serbia. I think Serbia could be dark horses this tournament

        1. F4L
          • 10 Years
          8 months, 23 days ago

          yea reading their team preview article on here, might help Serbia with less pressure with low expectations compared to WC

          theres some definite quality in the team, should be easy enough to get out of the group. mitro knows how to score goals thats for sure

    2. Bluetiger1
      • 2 Years
      8 months, 23 days ago

      Always a chance - found in last couple of games a low block we could not break down.

      Group stages all about not losing the first game - with best 4 placed third teams in group should qualify.

      My concern is no left footers (left back or centre back).

      Need to utilise the attacking players who have brilliant seasons but don't fall into the Finland trap
      all about three points

  10. SAUCY SALAH

    Who is player of the match in Slovenia game?

    1. JBG
      • 6 Years

      Should be Eriksen

      1. SAUCY SALAH
        • 8 Years
        8 months, 23 days ago

        Not Janza? Goal as a defender and 6 ball recoveries?

        1. SAUCY SALAH
          • 8 Years
          8 months, 23 days ago

    2. F4L
      • 10 Years
      8 months, 23 days ago

    3. jacob1989
      • 3 Years
      8 months, 23 days ago

      1. SAUCY SALAH
        • 8 Years
        8 months, 23 days ago

        Gotta be Janza looking at the stats surely

          8 months, 23 days ago

    TAA hype train

    1. Bluetiger1
      • 2 Years
      8 months, 23 days ago

      Option to beat the low block.

      Can move into back line - playing like a quarter back - giving extra cover defensively
      but in attacking play - added edge with passes - better further forward as less chance to get caught out.

  15. Bluetiger1
    • 2 Years
    8 months, 23 days ago

    COME ON ENGLAND - 3 points to setup the group nicely
