Denmark reached the Round of 16 in 2018 Russia and will look to progress further this time.
There is a nice blend and feel-good factor to the Danish National side with several quality and in-form players.
From Eriksen, Kjær to the likes of Braithwaite and Poulsen, Denmark holds the aces and are expected to qualify to the knockouts.
