While Denmark has been formidable throughout the tournament and has home advantage, Germany's semi-final performance showed real grit. It'll be a tougher challenge for Denmark than many expect.

Playing at home is a huge boost for Denmark, providing an incredible atmosphere. Yet, sometimes the pressure of a home final can lead to mistakes, so Germany might exploit that.
