Denmark, a team many have tipped as tournament ‘dark horses, today begin their World Cup against Tunisia.
While the feelgood tag placed on Kasper Hjulmand’s side is often talked about following the triumphant Christian Eriksen story, who less than 18 months ago died on the pitch at Euro 2020, there are plenty more reasons to cheer on Denmark.
After all, this is a team who were a dubious penalty away from taking England to a shootout in their own back garden, before beating world champions France in convincing fashion.

Denmark vs Tunisia team news
Andreas Christensen is facing a race against time to be fit for Denmark’s opening game after suffering ligament damage in his ankle while playing for Barcelona last month.
As it stands, there are no reported injury concerns for Tunisia.
Denmark vs Tunisia prediction
England struggled against Tunisia four years ago, such is their ability to sit deep and defend.
Still, with the quality Eriksen possesses from dead-ball positions, Denmark don’t particularly need to be free-flowing and expansive. They can hurt teams from anywhere.
Denmark to win 1-0.
