Betting on Denmark at the World Cup 2010


Denmark – World Cup 2010 – Betting

21st July 2010 | World Cup Betting Category: |

Manager: Morten Olsen
Captain: Jon Dahl Tomasson
FIFA World Ranking: 34
World Cup Appearances: 3
Best World Cup: Quarter-Finals – 1998

Denmark Team Profile

The Danes came through what looked a potential tricky Group 1 in the European sector with ease, topping the table above both Portugal & Sweden – both world class international nations. Morten Olsen’s side also achieved qualification with a game to spare and there superb form in qualifying will have raised their credentials and the expectations back home of a big summer in South Africa, possibly emulating their Quarter-Final success of France 1998.

The quarter-finals is the furthest the Danes have progressed in a World Cup, mainly because they’ve failed to qualify for the big event on nine occasions. They didn’t make the cut for Germany 2006, much to the dismay of the loyal followers back home, so perhaps the Denmark squad owe their fans with a big performance in this summers showcase. Morten Olsen does have a few players capable of shining on the big stage but the Danish fans should keep their feet firmly on the ground as, despite their steam rolling display in qualifying, they aren’t as well equipped as some other nations.

 

Manager

Morten Olsen has become a familiar face in international football after nearly a ten year stint at the Danish helm. He took over the reigns back in 2000 but it hasn’t all been plain sailing for the former Denmark international, reaching 102 caps for the Denmark national team as a player. Although the vast majority of his managerial years have been spent managing his native country, he does acquire  experience at the helms of your average club. Brondby, FC Koln & Ajax are all clubs Olsen has managed during his managerial career but it does appear he has found home in his current role as Denmark manager.

Morten Olsen did win several honours as a manager, including two Danish league titles & a Dutch league success with Ajax. However, he was sacked at his three of his previous managerial posts and some were surprised to see his name still associated with the National side after they failed to qualify for the 2006 World Cup in Germany. He came back with aplomb though and has now achieved arguably his greatest achievement as manager, guiding his own country to a World Cup, albeit at his second attempt. 

 

Denmark Key Players

Nicklas Bendtner

Bendtner is one of the younger players in this Denmark squad, but arguably the most talent of the lot. The tall Dane plies his trade for Arsenal in England, already adoring himself to the Arsenal fans with some big goals for the Gunners. He’s maturing well and at a stead pace, while he’s an ambitious lad and he will be eager to impress in South Africa.

He has a decent goal return for Denmark, averaging a goal every three games, but he did manage just the three goals during qualifying, which is a concern considering he’s their main man up front. Even so, he’s a player with immense talent and potential, and at Arsenal he’s developing into a fine footballer. There are still aspects of his game which need improving; awareness, forward positioning and his sharpness in front of goal, but he has time on his side and could be in for a big tournament leading the line for his country. 

Jon Dahl Tomasson

Tomasson may have been around the block at club level but his been a consistent performer for his country, playing in no less than 107 first team internationals for Denmark. With this, Tomasson brings added experience to the fort and manager Morton Olsen obviously felt this was key as Jon Dahl Tomasson was handed the captain armsband and will do so into the finals itself in which it could be Tomasson last World Cup as the former Feyenoord great will be close to 34 years-of-age when the tournament comes a calling next summer.

The Danish captains best attributes are his off the ball movement and his predator like finishing. If the opposition presents Jon Dahl with an opportunity to find the back of the net then more times then not Tomasson will comply. He has scored 51 goals at international level making him the second highest goalscorer for Denmark in their history.

Thomas Sorensen

Daniel Agger

 

Strengths

Denmark’s strong defence was undoubtedly what led them to such a successful qualifying campaign in a group which required plenty of concentration and maturity at the back. The Danes, who has a stalwart between their sticks in Thomas Sorenson, conceded just 5 goals on route to winning Group 1 in the European sector, keeping the likes of Sweden’s Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Portugal’s Cristiano Ronaldo at arms length.

The Danes have two robust centre-backs in Daniel Agger (Liverpool) and Michael Gravgaard, both of whom are not only a rock at the heart of the Danish defence but can be of great use from set-plays. Moreover, the former, Agger, is a great distributor of the ball and an often help his team spring an instant attack straight from defence with his accurate over-the-top balls.

Providing the Denmark defence remains well disciplined and organised at all times, Thomas Sorenson shouldn’t have too much work to do.

Weaknesses

The concern for Morten Olsen will be the lack of depth in Denmark in that while he may have a decent enough starting eleven, one more than capable of springing a surprise of two, where a number of his key players to fall foul to an injury in South Africa, he doesn’t have very many suitable replacements ready to fill the voids left by those instrumental to their chances.

Also, Denmark weren’t exactly prolific in front of goal during qualifying, but they’ve been very successful at winning games in a clinical manner, so that may not be a big negative, just a little niggle of concern.

 

Denmark Qualification for the World Cup

Sector: Europe
Group: 1
Position: 1st
Win-Draw-Lose: 6-3-1
Goals Scored: 16
Goals Conceded: 5

Denmark Qualifying statistics:

  • Denmark lost just a single qualifier on route to securing a place in the finals, that coming in the form of a 1-0 home defeat against Hungary, a game where Denmark were already through and Hungary desperately needed all three points.
  • Were it not for defeat to Hungary in the very last qualifier, Denmark would have ended qualifying undefeated in ten qualifiers. However, they did go on a nine match run without defeat beforehand.
  • Denmark share the honour of having the second best defensive record in the European sector out of the eight six team groups, conceding just five goals.
  • Soren Larsen, a Schalke player, finished qualifying as Denmark’s highest goalscorer with five goals, closely followed by Bendtner with 3.
  • Denmark’s disciplinary record during qualifying was merit-able, with the Danes receiving just 14 yellow cards in ten qualifiers, and they didn’t receive a single red card.

 

World Cup Potential: 3/5

The Danes qualified for South Africa with a little something to spare but are still one of the unpopular bunch to win the FIFA World Cup in South Africa. Perhaps it’s because they don’t pack as much International pedigree as some, or just simply because many don’t rate the players in the their squad. Either way, we feel  Denmark could potentially be one of the summer’s surprise packages, especially as they’re part of a Group they could quite easily progress from: Group E – Holland, Japan and Cameroon.

Morten Olsen, the Denmark manager, has tightened up the Danish defence and the proof was in their qualification campaign which seen them concede just 5 goals in 10 qualifiers. However, their tally of just 16 goals scored in 10 qualifiers was the lowest of any of the European nations who finished top of their respective Group, so it would seem the Danes’ success through qualifying was brought about through their tidy defence and this enabled them to notch up sufficient points by winning the majority of their qualifiers by the odd goal. We suppose you could say Denmark are a clinical nation.

Their strength in depth is a big concern of ours as they don’t have world-class talent in every position. In fact, players with genuine World Cup quality are few and far between, but the Danes play as a team and didn’t need individual stars to get them this far. Even so, there’s only so far you can take a team without players who can really make things happen against the superior nations, and while we fancy Denmark’s chances of making it through their group, the knock-out stages is where they will find their match and then some. Still, on their day Denmark could spring a shock and are certainly one of the more valued E/W punts.

Top 5 World Cup Bets bringing best value in Group E

7th June 2010 | World Cup Betting Category: Football World Cup Bets |

World Cup Group E Teams: Holland, Denmark, Cameroon, Japan. This is one of the groups at South Africa 2010 which may not attract a great deal of World Cup betting, but as with all of the groups, it should not be overlooked. Why? Because there are always opportunities to make a profit with World Cup betting, it is picking out the best prices with the most potential. Here we continue our series and look at some of the best value bets that can be found in Group E. The eventual winner of the 2010 FIFA World Cup, may realistically not come from Group E, but it does contain a very strong outsider in the Netherlands. However the rest of the group may be lacking in the kind of quality that will take a nation to the knockout rounds, so the gulf in class can help your betting strategy. When there is clear divides, World Cup football betting may not offer the best prices, but it does offer some securing to add to things like multiple bets at your online bookmaker.

 

Outright Market: Holland 4/7 at Ladbrokes
The Dutch are enjoying one of the most solid looking approaches to the World Cup. During their international friendly matches, they have beaten the USA, thumped Ghana and Hungary and prior to all of that, made France look woeful. Holland have shortened in World Cup Odds to go out and win the tournament, but were rocked by the potential that they will be without one of their in form stars, Bayern Munich’s Arjen Robben. Robben picked up a hamstring in injury after scoring twice in their demolition of Hungary, 6-1. Now there is a wait to see if the former Chelsea player will be able to make the World Cup, although Dutch Coach Bert Van Marwijk has not replaced him. The Dutch have a lot of quality in their side, but they have not attracted the level of betting that the likes of the disjointed Argentina have. This is a bit of a mystery, because if you paired both them together, right now on the current form of the teams, you would back the Netherlands. Holland have always been credited with playing beautiful football, but without enough grit and fight when it comes to the business end of tournaments. After going through the European qualification zone without dropping a point, and looking fluent and potent in front of goal during their international friendly warm up matches, Holland suddenly seem like a very strong bet. Even at these odds, they are pretty good value for backing, in a group which they should win at a canter.

To Qualify: Denmark Evens at Stan James
Denmark probably represents the best chance of the other teams to get out of the group. They finished top of their qualification in Europe, edging out Sweden, Hungary and Portugal. That was a tough, tight group, one that required a lot of fight to get through. Denmark put away sixteen goals during qualification and only conceded five. When they take the field at the World Cup, there is little doubt that they will set their stall out with a tight game plan. They have a little more fire power than you may think, notably Arsenal’s Nicklas Bendtner and ex-Chelsea star Jesper Gronkjaer. They won’t be short of class when it comes to putting away chances, and one thing the Danes have shown, is that they know how to defend, and how to do it well. Whether that means ten men behind the ball, then so be it. They should be a hard team to break down, and that is the reason why this bet makes such good value. Evens for them simply To Qualify ahead of Cameroon and Japan, is a great deal for the Europeans, who lost only one of their ten qualification matches.

Not to Qualify: Cameroon 4/5 at SkyBet
You think of Cameroon and you automatically think of Roger Milla dancing around the corner flag in a goal celebration. The Cameroon side of today, is nowhere near as gung-ho or talented as the one that gave England a scare at the quarter final stage of Italia ‘90. After a dismal showing at the African Cup of Nations at the beginning of the year, and with the bother over star striker Samuel Eto’o making up his mind whether he should participate or not after some harsh words spoken about him in the press by Milla, Cameroon look a shadow of their former selves. After drawing with Slovakia, suffering a 3-1 loss against Portugal, and then conceding the lead twice against Serbia, Cameroon have been struggling in international friendly warm up matches, against teams who have also qualified for the World Cup. Coach Paul Le Guen has an uphill struggle with Cameroon, and do not be surprised to see them looking like they are lacking interest and fight at the 2010 FIFA World Cup. Betting against them could well bring some decent rewards looking at the best bookmakers for betting on the World Cup. 

To Finish Bottom: Japan 5/6 at William Hill
Should be a strong contender for the wooden spoon along with Cameroon in this group. Much like the Cameroon which wowed crowds across the world, Japan have also fallen from grace and stature somewhat, since breaking on to the World Stage. They play with pace and look gutsy, but all of their eggs are in one basket, and that is midfield. Their strength is in their midfield creativity, but having a side which has been largely rebuild from the last World Cup where they only picked up one point in the group stage, they are not cohesive or strong. Spirited, yes. Talented enough to challenge for qualification? No. They battled hard against a lack luster England in a warm up match, but still lost after scoring two own goals, and that has left them in a run of four consecutive defeats in their preparations for South Africa 2010. Therefore, poor form, and finishing behind Australia in the Asian qualification zone, means that you should largely be betting against them. This bet offer reasonable, if not astounding World Cup Odds but there is profit to be made on them.

Most Group Stage Goals: Holland 11/3 at Bwin
Hardly a surprise, given the blistering form that they are in, and the weaknesses of their group opponents. What is surprising is the decent odds on them finishing as top scorers. This is one to be jumped all over, and in all of their group stage World Cup fixtures you would expect Holland to run up some goals, certainly against Japan and Cameroon. Denmark may be a tougher nut to crack, but the Dutch look very good, and very strong right now. They are packed with creativity, pace and talent, and goals should not be that hard to come by.


Denmark look to Sorensen fitness for World Cup Fixtures

19th May 2010 | World Cup Betting Category: 2010 World Cup News |

Stoke and Denmark first choice, Tomas Sorensen, is one of four goalkeepers named for the Danes in their provisional squad. There is still doubt about whether Sorenson will be fit enough or not to go take part in the World Cup, after picking up an elbow injury in a Barclays Premier League match against Chelsea, which his club lost 7-0. It was an accidental collision with Chelsea and Ivory Coast striker Salomon Kalou which Sorensen picked up the injury, but Denmark boss Morten Olsen still was keen to draft his number one keeper into the provisional fold of 26 players. Sorensen was a key factor in the progress Denmark made through their qualification campaign to reach South Africa 2010, and Olsen is banking on his first choice regaining full fitness. Of the European teams participating in World Cup 2010 Denmark may not be attracting a lot of betting attention, but they may well be worth casting an eye over.

Sorenson himself remains optimistic that he will recover in time, despite his dislocation. Denmark start their World Cup fixtures against Holland, which is a fixture in which one would expect the Danish defence to come under a great deal of scrutiny. Soresen’s presence would instil a lot of confidence in the rear guard for the match which is being played on June 14th. But Olsen has to cut his side down to the regulation 23 man squad at the beginning of June, so Sorensen is in a race against time. There will be a fine balance between building up strength in the arm and not overdoing it in a rush to be fit. After missing out on the last World Cup Denmark are back and ready to take every chance that comes their way. Fortified with strength and a disciplined approach to tactics, Denmark have the potential to be a surprise package of South Africa 2010, something which would be made stronger with the full fitness of Sorensen.

But while betting on Denmark at the World Cup will be influenced by their defensive duties, the Danes do carry some threat going forward, with the five strikers named in the squad. These are five quality attackers in the ranks, which could cause a big threat to their group opponents of Holland, Japan and Cameroon. Ex Chelsea star Jesper Gronkjaer is one of the five main attacking threats, along with Jon Dahl Tomasson, Soren Larsen, Dennis Rommedahl and Nicklas Bendtner, upon whose shoulders, most of the attacking threat from Denmark will be carried. There is a lot of experience in the forward  ranks for Denmark and that could give them the edge in a group, in which second spot is expected to be contested between Denmark and Cameroon.

Soren Larsen was Denmark’s top scorer as they won their qualification group, but with Bendtner finding his feet again at the end of Arsenal’s domestic season following injury, there is a lot of promise and perhaps some attacking surprises to come from Denmark, other than the expected counter attacking game. Denmark do like to keep things tight, and they will rely on their team spirit to get them through to the knockout stages of the World Cup. It is that spirit of being ready to fight for each other that could prove to be the extra strength that the Danes need in order to get out of the group stage. They showed in the qualifiers, in which they beat out Sweden and Portugal, that they have the strength and stability to both fight and play their way through tough tasks.

Denmark Provisional Squad:
Goalkeepers: Jesper Christiansen, Kim Christensen, Stephan Andersen, Thomas Sorensen
Defenders: Daniel Agger, Lars Jacobsen, Patrick Mtiliga, Per Kroldrup, Simon Busk Poulsen, Simon Kjaer, William Kvist
Midfielders: Christian Poulsen, Christian Eriksen, Daniel Jensen, Jakob Poulsen, Michael Silberbauer, Mikkel Beckmann, Thomas Enevoldsen, Thomas Kahlenberg, Dennis Rommedahl, Jesper Gronkjaer, Jon Dahl Tomasson, Martin Jorgensen
Forwards: Michael Krohn-Dehli, Nicklas Bendtner, Soren Larsen
