Denmark will go to the World Cup as one of the outsiders but they had a good qualifying campaign and could surprise a few people in South Africa. Punters backing the Denmark World Cup odds should get a run for their money.
Denmark put up some impressive performances in qualiying to top a group which included Portugal and Sweden, both of whom they beat away!
Both teams have tight defences, with Denmark conceding just the 5 in qualifying. 1-0 or 2-0 to Denmark look the likely scorelines.
11 goals in 19 games for his country is a great strike rate, as is 5 in 8 for his club this season. Looks the value bet to finish above Bendtner
Denmark are underated which is wrong for a team who has produced some great results in qualifying. The side seems better than the one which lifted the European Championship in 1992

Soren Larsen will be massive World Cup odds to be World Cup Golden Boot, back him before the tournament starts and lay off after the group stage if he has two or more goals, by which team his price will have shortened plenty and you can lock in a nice profit.
Denmark arent the most entertaining or fashionable teams which allows them to be priced up far lower than they should be. Plenty of class and very hard to break down, Denmark will be a tough game for any side at the World Cup. They are fancied to qualify from their group and then will be tough to beat in the knock out rounds. Little downside on the spreads at 13.
