Is Czech Republic vs Denmark on TV today? Kick-off time, channel and how to watch Euro 2020 fixture today

Denmark and Czech Republic meet again in the quarter-finals of a European Championships eyeing up a place in the semi-finals of Euro 2020.

The Czechs earned a 3-0 win over the Danes 17 years ago and will hope to repeat their victory here behind their talisman Patrik Schick.

Schick is one goal behind leading scorer Cristiano Ronaldo in the race to win the golden boot and also one goal off the Czech goal record for a major tournament, held by Milan Baros at Euro 2004.

Head coach Jaroslav Silhavy says: “One small mistake can decide the match flow in a moment,” Silhavy said. “They have many good players in their team that can decide a match, but I believe we will be able to take advantage of any of their mistakes. I think it will be a very even match, and competitive, and the little things will be decisive.”

Prediction

Denmark have the better attack, with more energy and versatility in the final third, but Patrik Schick is the best forward in form.

The Danes will take it to the Czechs, which will suit Jaroslav Šilhavý’s side nicely, but the increased fire power and momentum secured by the Danes will see them edge this 2-1.
