Denmark road to Russia 2018 World Cup
The Danish Dynamite regained a good deal of its potency throughout the Russia 2016 World campaign with a slow but steady rise to the top that placed it ahead of its Scandinavian neighbors. Denmark and its new coach Age Hareide went on a trial and error mode that, after some disappointing early matches, managed to stabilize a successful 4-3-3 formation that eventually led his team to a glorious playoff match against Ireland. The Danes are one of the most promising wild card teams of the European landscape, capable of some amazing plays spearheaded by their top scorer Christian Eriksen. Check Denmark Betting Odds here.
The change in Denmark's fortunes wasn't evident at first glance, and Hareide took a good deal of criticism from the fan base, who had serious doubts for the team's future; the Norwegian coach had a vast experience but had failed to produce good results for his national troupe. Little by little, the Dynamite begun to show what is was capable of with increasingly stellar performances. The tiny nation of Montenegro became their first major headache, with a single goal victory that stemmed from an otherwise forgettable match back on September of 2016; then, exactly one year after their initial demise, Denmark took back the reigns of the action by vanquishing Poland with an impressive 4-0 score. A month later they were able to apply their revenge on the Montenegrins with a one-goal difference, and on November, the Danish surge was cemented with an overwhelming 5-1 victory to the Republic of Ireland, leaving the Boys in Green out of the World Cup while earning their own ticket.
More recently, Denmark has embarked on a series of friendly matches to aid in their preparation ahead of the World Cup. During March 2018, they went on to defeat the Panamanian squad with a 1-0 score, and on the same month the tied to zero goals with Chile. In the next few weeks, they will meet Mexico and Sweden before they take off for Russia. They've been placed alongside France, Peru and Australia in Group C, with a first game scheduled for June 15th against the Peruvians.
Denmark Key Players
Tottenham's Christian Eriksen has become Denmarks undeniable rising star, and he appears to have taken on the role of team captain without hesitation. He will be assisted by Pione Sisto, who's also managed to make a strong presence during the qualification stages. Elsewhere on the playing field, goalkeeper Kaspar Schmeichel and Jonas Lossl will stand guard at the net, and defenders Nicolai Boilesen, Riza Durmisi, Peter Ankersen and Andreas Christensen will do their best to block any enemy attacks. Andreas Cornelius, Nicolai Jorgenson and Martin Braithwaite will provide support on the front in order to allow Eriksen to make his power plays; it is perhaps this overreliance on Eriksen that could prove fatal for the Dynamite. Denmark occupies the 12th place in FIFA's ranking and own a respectful spot at the preference of bettors, with 80/100 to one odds at most World Cup betting odds charts.
