The UEFA Women's EURO 2025 is underway in Switzerland, and today, July 4, 2025, features a compelling Group C match between Denmark and Sweden. The game is being held at the Stade de Genève in Geneva, with a 6:00 PM CEST kick-off time.
This Nordic derby promises plenty of excitement. Denmark is looking to bounce back and restore pride after a recent 6-1 defeat against Sweden in the Women's Nations League in June. In that match, Sweden started strong, scoring three goals in the first 11 minutes. Meanwhile, Sweden, ranked sixth in the world, aims to build on that momentum.
Several players on both sides are familiar with each other, adding another layer of intrigue to the match. Denmark's Signe Bruun and Sweden's Filippa Angeldahl are teammates at Real Madrid, while Denmark captain Pernille Harder is likely to face off against her partner and fellow Bayern player, Magdalena Eriksson, who captains Sweden.
Matchday 1 encounters between these two nations have historically been tight, with both the 2005 and 2013 Women's EURO clashes ending in 1-1 draws.
Denmark's coach, Andrée Jeglertz, emphasizes the importance of a strong start. He acknowledged their poor start in their previous match against Sweden and stressed the need to grow into the game, believing in their strategy and hard work.
Sweden will miss star winger Fridolina Rolfö due to injury, placing extra responsibility on striker Stina Blackstenius.
For Denmark, Jeglertz is expected to use a back-three formation, with Isabella Obaze, Stine Ballisager, and Katrine Veje in defense. Pernille Harder will lead the attack, potentially supported by Cornelia Kramer and Signe Bruun.
The match can be watched on TV via FS1, or streamed on the FOX Sports App and FOXSports.com.
