All three clashes between Denmark and Germany in major tournaments have ended 2-0, with Denmark winning at the 1986 World Cup and Euro 1992 and Germany at Euro 1988.

Denmark are unbeaten in three clashes with Germany, winning two (all friendlies).

Dennis Rommedahl netted three goals in those matches.

The Danes have netted just one first-half goal in their last 10 meetings with Germany combined.

Any Danish win guarantees them a place in the quarter-finals. Germany need just a draw to reach the last eight.

Germany have won their last 13 competitive games - an all-time record in DFB history.

Furthermore, Germany are the only team to win all of their qualifying and tournament matches at Euro 2012 and have scored the first goal in each of these games.

The German team have won their first two matches at the European Championship for the fourth time. On the previous three occasions they managed this, they went on to lift the trophy.

Nicklas Bendtner became the fifth Danish player to score a brace at the European Championship in his side's last game against Portugal (after Arnesen, Larsen, B Laudrup and Tomasson).

Mario Gomez netted three goals with his first five shots at Euro 2012 after failing to score with any of his five at Euro 2008.
