Group B Review

Denmark stunned the Netherlands in the first round of Group B matches, with Michael Krohn-Dehli scoring the only goal in a 1-0 Danish victory.

Morten Olsen's team co-leads Group B with three points. Germany also collected three points from their 1-0 victory over Portugal on Saturday.

Portugal and Holland have no points heading into the second round of fixtures.

Qualifying

Denmark and Portugal also were drawn together in Group H for Euro 2012 qualifying.

Portugal won the first encounter 3-1 at home before falling to Denmark 2-1 in Copenhagen.

Denmark topped Group H with 19 points, having lost only one match (to Portugal) in qualifying. Portugal finished second with 16 points after also losing to Norway away and drawing at home with Cyprus.

Portugal advanced to Euro 2012 via the playoffs.

Bendtner Halfway to 100

Denmark forward Nicklas Bendtner, 24, could earn his 50th cap Tuesday.

If so, the big striker might just cry. In a good way.

According to UEFA.com, Bendtner said: "Every time I pull the Denmark jersey over my head I do so with pride. My eyes keep on getting a little misty. It's a crazy feeling knowing that the fans in your country are cheering for you."

Bendtner has scored 18 goals in 49 international appearances.

Nani: Must-Win Game

Portugal winger Nani has called his side's match against Denmark a "must-win."

Germany defeated Portugal 1-0 in both teams' opening match, and another Portugal loss would likely eliminate Paulo Bento's squad.

"I don't think (Denmark) will really go over the top," Nani added (per the Montreal Gazette).

Team News

Denmark lost first-choice keeper Thomas Sørensen to injury before the tournament. He was replaced by Kasper Schmeichel.

The Danes have no new injuries, according to UEFA.com.

Portugal's Hugo Almeida (pictured) missed Sunday's training session. Meanwhile, Ricardo Quaresma continues his recovery from a strained leg muscle (per Times of India).

Projected Lineups

With neither team suffering major injuries, both could feature lineups unchanged from their opening matches.

Denmark: Stephan Andersen, Daniel Agger, Simon Kjaer, Simon Poulsen, Lars Jacobsen, Niki Zimling, William Kvist, Christian Eriksen, Michael Krohn-Dehli, Dennis Rommedahl, Nicklas Bendtner.

Portugal: Rui Patricio, Pepe, Bruno Alves, Fabio Coentrao, Joao Pereira, Miguel Veloso, Joao Moutinho, Raul Meireles, Helder Postiga, Nani, Cristiano Ronaldo
