The 21-year-old is set to spearhead the attack as the Danes look to upset Group C when they take on England in their second game on Thursday.
Seen as his country’s rising star, the Manchester United forward, who signed from Atalanta for £72m last summer, has the hopes of a nation riding on his shoulders.
He played a key role in Denmark’s qualifying campaign, scoring seven goals to help them top their group.
Hojlund also enjoyed a breakout debut season for United, scoring 15 goals in 36 Premier League and Champions League appearances.
But, despite showing glimpses of his threat in their1-1 draw with Slovenia,he has now scored just once in his past nine international matches.
The match will be shown live on BBC One and the BBC Sport website and app, with a 17:00 BST kick-off.
