Danes 6/1 to top Group with Holland finishing second
Denmark, the 1992 European champions, are 100/1 shots in the World Cup betting odds in South Africa.
Since 2000 Morten Olsen has guided the Danes to qualification for two World Cups and a European Championship, impressive going for a country with a population of under six million.
They travel to World Cup as champions of their qualification group. They beat fierce rivals Sweden in the penultimate match, and finished ahead of highly-rated Portugal. You can get 6/1 for them to replicate their qualification form and win Group E, with group favourites Holland pushed into second.
Enviable record
When they qualify, Denmark have an enviable record of always progressing beyond the first round of World Cup tournaments. Olsen's men are 10/11 to progress from Group E.
Two key members of the Danish side - Dennis Rommedahl and Jon Dahl Tomasson - have vital experience in the Dutch Eredivisie. You can get 7/2 for the Danes to overcome Holland in their opening fixture on 14th June.
Tomasson is a prolific goal scorer. He has scored 51 times for his country, one short of the Danish national record. His World Cup record stands at an impressive four appearances and four goals; Sky Bet are 125/1 for him to become the 2010 top scorer.
Star quality
With the likes of Thomas Sorensen, Daniel Agger, Christian Poulsen and Nicklas Bendtner lining up for the 'Danish Dynamite' alongside Rommedahl and Tomasson, there is star quality throughout the team.
Can they repeat their predecessors' heroics of Euro '92? Sky Bet's compilers make it a long shot, but crazier things have happened. Just ask the Greeks.
