The road to Qatar was a smooth one and the Denmark World Cup 2022 odds place them among the more attractive outsiders after they breezed through qualification with their group sewn up long before Scotland denied them a 100 per cent record in the final game.
Between them, Joakim Maehle and Andreas Skov Olsen scored 10 of Denmark’s 30 goals while at the other end they leaked just three as they chalked up nine wins and one defeat.
Kasper Hjulmand has been in charge of the team since 2020 and steered them to the semi-finals of the delayed Euros last summer, where they rallied remarkably after Christian Eriksen’s cardiac arrest on the pitch and two defeats to start the tournament.
Former Tottenham midfielder and fans’ favourite Eriksen returned to the international fold earlier this year.
