Denmark is the only Scandinavian team to qualify into the final playoffs after Sweden failed in the qualifiers for a big championship for the first time in many years. After an impressive run and finishing top of the group before Portugal and Sweden, Denmark will have high hopes in South Africa this summer.

With only one lost game in the qualifiers (against Hungary) they look strong, but we still believe they will find it hard to go through from the Group E together with Holland, Japan and Cameroon. Their game play hasn’t always been as impressive as the results are showing and it is a very tough group, with Holland being clear favorites.

Denmark will rely much on top striker Soren Larsen and Arsenal forward Nicklas Bendtner. Actually there are not many that will match Larsen’s goal scoring records in international football. In the last two World Cup qualifying campaigns, the Dane has scored 10 goals in as many matches.

“I feel comfortable playing in the national team’s system. I get more chances in the national team, certainly more than I get at club level.” says Soren Larsen.

Our bet goes against Denmark though, and at Expekt they give you 1.72 in odds of Denmark not qualifying through the group.
