Correct Score

Netherlands have won their last four European Championship group games, and seven of their last nine.

The sides have met twice before in European Championship games, with Netherlands winning 3-0 in the group stages in Euro 2000 and Denmark winning a penalty shootout in the semi-finals of Euro 1992.

Denmark have only won six of 28 previous internationals against the Netherlands, and haven't beaten the Dutch in a competitive game (excluding penalties) since 1967.

Denmark found the net in every one of their eight qualification matches for Euro 2012.

The Netherlands smashed 37 goals past their opponents during the qualifiers; more than any other side.

Klaas Jan-Huntelaar was the top scorer in Euro 2012 qualifying, bagging 12 goals from 25 shots.

Holland had the highest passing accuracy in qualifying (90.2%).

The Netherlands have made it out of the group stages in their last six appearances at the Euros, the only side to have done this.

The Danes have won just one of their last seven matches at European Championship finals (D2 L4).
