Czech Republic are making their seventh successive appearance at the European Championships, but have largely failed to make a mark in the competition.

The Euro 2020 marks their third foray into the sudden death stage, and they will look to make it count this time around.

The Danes are making their eighth appearance in the continental competition and were crowned champions in 1992, while were semi-finalists in 1984 and reached the quarters in 2004.
