🇩🇰 The Underrated Group
Don't overlook this group. Denmark's Euro 2020 semifinalists have matured into genuine contenders. Serbia's talent pool runs deep with Vlahovic, Jovic, and Savic. Ghana bring passionate AFCON pedigree, while Honduras aim to spring a CONCACAF upset. This group could produce a shock elimination.

Key Fixture
"A tactical European battle that could define both teams' tournament. Denmark's structured pressing vs Serbia's individual brilliance — this game will be tight. Under 2.5 goals at -120 is the sharp angle. Expect a cagey, chess-like affair decided by one moment of quality."
Analyst Notes
Denmark's Underrated Squad Depth
Eriksen's fairy-tale return, Højlund leading the line, and a defense marshaled by Christensen — Denmark are deeper than most realize. Their Euro 2020 semifinal run was no fluke. Denmark to win Group L at +110 is the best-value group winner bet across all 12 groups.
Serbia's Talent vs Results Gap
On paper, Vlahovic, Jovic, and Milinković-Savić form a formidable attack. In practice, Serbia have underdelivered at major tournaments — group-stage exits in 2018 and 2022. The talent is there but the cohesion isn't. Serbia to qualify at +160 is fair, but don't expect them to top the group.
