Holland vs. Denmark Live Stream: Online Viewing Info for Euro 2012 Match

This year's much-anticipated Euro 2012 Group B action kicks off on Saturday afternoon with a matchup between Holland and Denmark at noon, and it's as much off a must-win for Holland as there could possibly be.

Given the rest of the competition in Group B—Germany and Portugal—this is a crucial matchup for the Netherlands, as they must use the momentum of this should-win to carry them throughout the rest of their group fixtures.

The same is the case for Denmark, which is the weak link of the group. This is Denmark's best chance at victory, and if it doesn't win here, it's going to have a lot of trouble getting the wins it needs against Germany and Portugal in order to advance to the knockout round.

The Group of Death really is just that, and these two are the teams that are going to have to fight the hardest in order to advance. Whoever wins on Saturday gets a huge leg up.

Betting Odds: Holland favored 8-13 (via Bet365)

The Dutch have a very talented squad that, on paper, should win. But that means nothing when the teams actually take to the pitch. Holland has only won three of its last seven, and Denmark has won six of eight.

Key Matchup: Holland vs. Great Expectations

Great expectations set everyone up for failure, but the good teams find a way to tune out the distractions and just focus on the task at hand. Granted, it's a bit more difficult in the most competitive international soccer tournament in the world, but Holland just has to focus.

Despite the fact that the Dutch have only won three of seven, those two happen to be their two most recent over Northern Ireland and Slovakia, where they won by a combined score of 8-0. In the victory over Ireland, Robin Van Persie tallied two goals, and coming off his best season ever, he figures to be a key player throughout this tournament.

For Holland, channeling their recent momentum into another win over a lesser opponent is key. 

The only good thing about great expectations is they are accompanied by immense excitement, and Holland boasts a competitive squad that has been waiting two years for this to begin. It won't let itself begin on the wrong foot.

Prediction: Holland 3-1

The last time these two teams met was in the 2010 World Cup, and the Dutch came out of it with a 2-0 victory. They've been playing too well recently to falter on the biggest stage against an opponent that doesn't stand much of a chance.
