Tuesday, November 22nd, 13:00 (UK)

Not so dark-horses Denmark have shortened dramatically in the outright market as the money has come for Euro 2020’s darlings.

Christian Eriksen’s near tragedy proved to be the Danes’ catalyst as a stellar performance against Belgium was followed by back-to-back-to-back victories on route to the semi-finals at Euro 2020.

The Red-White eventually fell short in extra time at Wembley against England as Harry Kane converted his rebounded penalty.

At odds of 1.60, the bookmarkers clearly fancy Kasper Hjulmand’s side to prevail against the group’s underdogs, Tunisia. With no major injury concerns, it is difficult to disagree. Kasper Schmeichel, Joakim Maehle, Andreas Christensen, Pierre-Emile Højbjerg, Christian Eriksen, Mikkel Damsgaard and Kasper Dolberg are all expected to feature in a 4-3-3.

Given the tournament’s location, Tunisia will be more acclimatised than the Scandinavians and this may give them an edge here.

Jalal Kadri’s side barely gave anything away en route to Qatar. They conceded twice goals in their eight qualification games. It was a similar story in the African Cup of Nations where only one of their five games saw more than two goals scored as the rest all finished 1-0.

There is no disputing that France and Denmark possess the quality to unlock the Eagles of Carthage. However, playing in a climate more suited to the stubborn Africans, the underdogs could make life difficult.

Denmark have won 11 of their 15 games since their Euro 2020 semi-final exit, winning 9 of their 10 games in qualification
Tunisia have never made it out of the group stage, despite qualifying for six tournaments
10 of Tunisia’s last 14 matches have seen one or fewer goals scored, so expect the AFCON Quarter-finalists to frustrate Denmark and France
For the first time in history, all African countries that have qualified for the FIFA World Cup will be led by coaches from their country. With Tunisia’s supremo, Jalal Kadri, one of their own

As previously alluded to, the foundation of this Tunisian side is its solid defensive unit. In qualification, both teams scored in just one of their eight games, and BTTS did not click at all during any of their five AFCON matches.

In fact, siding with a lack of goals and backing two or fewer goals to be scored would have paid out in 69% of their games since September. They bested Nigeria 1-0 in AFCON and both Chile and Japan to nil en route to their Kirin Cup success early this year.

In the heat of Qatar, regardless of the air conditioning, I expect the tempo of the game to be affected. That will suit Kadri’s side and aid a lack of goals in this clash. Two reasons why I was almost tempted to side with them and tip them to get a result here.

That being said, Denmark are heavy favourites and rightly so given the pedigree of players they have amongst their ranks, most of whom are playing in Europe’s elite divisions.

Denmark breezed through qualification, only losing once in a dead rubber, besting the likes of Scotland and Austria, two sides of similar ilk to Tunisia on route to Qatar.

Hjulmand’s men have since done the double of current world champions France in the Nations League which is why combining them to win and the game to feature three goals or less is irresistible.
