The Russia vs Denmark live stream is on now and it's one to watch, as both teams need points to keep their Euro 2020 hopes alive. As it stands, Russia will progress to the knockout stages with a win — or a draw, should the concurrent Finland vs Belgium game go in the latter's favor.

Denmark, however, are currently bottom of Group B and will need an emphatic win to have any hope of progressing. As this UEFA permutations guide explains, there's no shortage of "What if" scenarios, but the short version is that both teams will be desperate for all 3 points.
