Why Denmark is a Good Bet Versus England

Denmark has won 4-of-5. The Danes’ lone loss in the last 5 came in an international friendly match versus Spain. The Spanish have a real shot of winning the World Cup. So losing to Spain in a friendly is no big deal.

Also, even though Denmark only beat China 1-0, it’s important to note that the Danes played a steady match, not forcing anything, and allowing the flow of the game to dictate their strategy. Denmark is patient, which will help them against England.

Why England is a Good Bet Against Denmark

The score doesn’t say England dominated the Haitians. But the English did. England controlled possession 75% to 25%.

The English took 21 shots compared to Haiti’s 7. 11 of England’s 21 shots were on goal. England held Haiti to 2 shots on goal.

Also, we must assume that England knows Denmark is the team to beat in Group D. So England will step up their game on Friday.

Final Betting Analysis: Denmark vs England

England has the ability to be as aggressive as required, which should serve them well in this match. If the English go after Denmark, they can win straight up.

But England may not play that type of game. Denmark is a dangerous team and since both score victories in their first group contest, there’s a good chance that neither puts it all on the line on Friday.

In fact, England figures to take their time, yielding possession in spots to set their defense. On the other side, it’s difficult seeing Denmark employing a more aggressive strategy than they did versus China.

The Danes will want to protect their three points. Knowing their third match is versus Haiti, Denmark won’t do anything to lose the match. So two teams close to the same level, England is the better overall team, playing conservative soccer should lead to a draw.
