Frankfurt, Germany: England faces Denmark on Thursday as the leader of Group C at the European Championship after a 1-0 win over Serbia. Denmark was denied by Slovenia’s late leveler in a 1-1 draw also on Sunday. They meet in Frankfurt at the Waldstadion where kickoff is at 7pm Qatar time (1600 GMT). Here’s what to know about the match:

Match facts - Denmark’s need for a win is greater, ahead of a final Group C game against a physically imposing Serbia team.

- The teams renew their rivalry from a Euro 2020 semifinal played three years ago at Wembley Stadium. England won 2-1 after extra time, sealed when Harry Kane followed up his penalty being saved by Kasper Schmeichel to score when the ball rebounded to him.

- Denmark did not easily forget how England got that decisive spot-kick, for a foul awarded against defender Joakim Mæhle - "a penalty which should not have been a penalty,” coach Kasper Hjulmand said then. Hjulmand said Wednesday he's not thinking about that incident anymore, preferring to look at the next game "through the front window.”

- There is a familiarity between the squads with teammates at Manchester United, Crystal Palace and Brentford on either side of this game.
