History is smiling on Denmark as they enter a tough game against Holland in which they need to get a result to have any chance of progressing to the next round of the European Championships.

Last time the two teams met competitively, the semi-final of Euro 92, Denmark won 5-4 on penalties after the game ended 2-2. They then went on to shock the whole of Europe and win the tournament.

The former European Champions are unbeaten by Holland since 1984 when they were beaten 6-0 in Amsterdam.

The Danes will be looking for another inspired performance against the Dutch after a 3-0 defeat at the hands of the French in their opening game left them bottom of group D.

But two key players could be missing with Chelsea sweeper Jes Hoegh still suffering from an Achilles tendon strain and AC Milan defender Thomas Helveg has a leg muscle injury.
