Match Preview:
Denmark, making their eighth successive European Championship appearance, will be eager to banish memories of their 2022 group stage exit. Despite automatically qualifying for the 2025 tournament, their recent Nations League campaign was underwhelming, marked by mixed results and two significant defeats against upcoming opponents, Sweden. The Danes, led by Pernille Harder, will be seeking revenge and a strong start to the tournament.

In contrast, Sweden enters the championships brimming with confidence. After a dominant playoff performance, they arrive in Switzerland on an impressive 12-match unbeaten run, including a recent friendly win against Norway. Under outgoing boss Peter Gerhardsson, Sweden aims for their first European Championship trophy since 1984. With key players like Stina Blackstenius in superb form, Sweden will look to capitalize on Denmark's recent struggles.

Match Prediction:
Sweden’s superior recent form and their two wins over Denmark this year suggest they'll be too strong. While a repeat of June's 6-1 thrashing is unlikely, expect Sweden to secure a comfortable victory and kick off their tournament with three points.
