Denmark have only been involved in three penalty shootouts in their history, with two of them last century. However, they did face off against Croatia at the 2018 World Cup in a penalty shootout, which might give a slightly better indication of who will take a spot kick should their game go the distance.

They lost 3-2 on that occasion three years ago, but Kasper Schmeichel did manage to save two penalties from the five he faced, meaning Denmark could have strong chance in a shootout they're involved in.
