The first match in Group D at the 2022 FIFA World Cup will be played between Denmark and Tunisia on the 22nd of November at the Education City Stadium, in Al Rayyan. The European team is favored to win in the Denmark v Tunisia odds, which is not surprising following Denmark’s amazing recent form. Their African opponent will make its sixth appearance in the World Cup and will try to get a good result in their opening game. 

The reigning world champions, France will play along with Australia, Denmark, and Tunisia in Group D at the 2022 FIFA World Cup. The European sides are the favorites to advance from the group but winning against the other two sides might not be so easy.

Four years ago they finished in third place in their group with a win against Panama. While the 1992 European champions reached the last 16 in 2018. But they lost there against Croatia on penalties. Now Kasper Hjulmand’s team can go even further based on their recent form and results. 

Denmark v Tunisia Odds Predict Danish Win

Denmark finished third in last year’s European Championship and has been in great form ever since. They won their World Cup qualifying group confidently. And defeated France twice in this year’s Nations League. The team is currently in 10th place in the FIFA world rankings, 20 places ahead of their next opponent, Tunisia. No wonder that online sportsbooks in Denmark favor the team to get the three points. They offer the odds of 1.42 for their win. What’s more, even Denmark’s chances of winning the World Cup are not bad at 31.00. One thing is sure. Goal scoring will be very difficult for any of their rivals thanks to the team’s stable defense. 

Including team captain Simon Kjaer, Barcelona player Andreas Christensen and Atalanta defender Joakim Maehle. And former Leicester City goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel who only conceded two goals in the World Cup qualifiers. It explains why we can find quite high odds, 2.26 for both teams to score in the match in the Denmark v Tunisia odds. But we are likely to see more than 2,5 goals in the match (2.00) according to the bookmakers.  Danish attacking players like Yussuf Poulsen and Martin Braithwaite can find the net easily. Along with the squad’s top-level midfielders, Thomas Delaney and Christian Eriksen.

Tunisia’s chances

Tunisia played well in their qualifying group. They also managed to win against other strong teams like Japan and Chile in the last few months. Of course, playing at the World Cup is another level, but they might surprise neutral fans. Especially players like team captain Youssef Msakni who plays in Qatar club Al-Arabi. Or the top scorer of the team, Wahbi Khazri who is a player of Montpellier. Other members of the squad also play abroad, in countries like Italy, the Netherlands or Switzerland. But there are players from Turkish and Hungarian clubs as well. 

Even though online gambling sites in Denmark offer an odds of 7.90 for Tunisia’s win, it’s not impossible. But it would be certainly a huge achievement for Jalel Kadri’s team. Just like a draw which has an odds of 4.44. Again, the hot weather might be on the side of the African team, who are used to these kinds of conditions. The two teams have only played once before, in 2002, when Denmark won 2-1 in a friendly match. To have the same result now has an odds of 8.00. While a 1-0 Danish win is the most likely result on 22Bet with an odds of 4.50.
