World Cup Betting Odds For Denmark

Ahead of their fifth tournament appearance, bookmakers continue to update the World Cup betting odds for Denmark. The team made its 1986 World Cup debut in Mexico, where they swept the first round but were eliminated by Spain in the second. Denmark saw its biggest World Cup achievement in France 1998, where the Danes were able to reach the quarter-finals with the help of former star midfielder Michael Laudrup and his brother Brian Laudrup in what would be their last international feats. Denmark fell 3-2 to Brazil in a close game, but the team went on to appear in Korea/Japan in 2002 and South Africa 2010. With seven years since their last tournament, Denmark has something to prove as they prepare for their World Cup performance in Russia 2018.

World Cup betting odds for Denmark have remained relatively consistent even after the 2018 World Cup draw. Denmark is in Group C, which is expected to be one of the more intriguing groups. The Danes will play a familiar France, but are also up against South American Peru and unfamiliar Australia. Certainly not a “group of death”, but the draw should allow for one of the more exciting groups to watch. It is advantageous for football fans to learn more about the national team and their journey to the global final when wagering on World Cup betting odds for Denmark.

Denmark’s Road To The World Cup

Denmark was placed in UEFA Group E for 2018 FIFA World Cup qualification. The Danes were paired against Romania, Poland, Kazakhstan, Montenegro, and Armenia. After back-to-back losses to Poland and Montenegro in October 2016, Denmark has gone 11 games undefeated. Denmark had a 4-0 home win against Poland but ultimately finished as best-runner up to the top-seeded team. It was in the playoffs that Denmark was able to secure their spot in Russia after defeating the Republic of Ireland 5-1. Though the Republic of Ireland did score the first goal, it was Christian Eriksen’s hat-trick that sealed the fate for both the Danes and the Irish.

In 2016, Coach Age Hareide replaced Morten Olsen – Denmark’s longest-serving coach. Prior to coaching, Hareide played for Hødd, Molde, Manchester City, and Norwich City. He also made 50 appearances on the Norway national team. After Poland failed to qualify for UEFA EUR) 2016 under Olsen, Hareide stepped in and was able to help the Danes secure their first major tournament since the 2012 European Championship.

In total, Denmark played 12 matches to qualify for Russia 2018, six at home and six away. Their biggest victory was the 4-0 home victory over Poland, while the biggest defeat was a 0-1 loss to Montenegro early on in the qualifiers. Throughout the qualifiers, Denmark scored 25 goals and racked up 24 points. The journey of the team to reach Russia 2018 has factored into the World Cup betting odds for Denmark, with the team sitting in the middle of the oddsboard.
