Denmark will make their sixth World Cup appearance this year when they open up their tournament by squaring off against Tunisia on Nov. 22 at Education City Stadium.
The Danes will look to improve their performance from the 1998 games when they fell in the quarterfinals to Brazil. Meanwhile, Tunisia will look to advance past the group stage for the first time in their nation's history.

Denmark vs Tunisia Prediction
Denmark 2-0 Tunisia
Denmark currently sits in the top 10 in FIFA World Rankings, while Tunisia occupies the 30th position. Therefore, I expect this match to be dominated by the European team from beginning to end.
Before the Eagles of Carthage’s recent 5-1 defeat at the hands of Brazil in September, they enjoyed wins over Chile and Japan during international friendlies. However, they will need a lot more than Anis Ben Slimane, Issam Jebali, and Manchester United’s Hannibal Mejbri to take down Denmark.
Kasper Hjulmand’s side comes into the World Cup in fine form, having won nine of their 10 qualifying outings, including eight clean sheets. Captain Simon Kjær, forward Yussuf Poulsen, and team leader Christian Eriksen form a strong trio for Denmark.
Eriksen had a recent health scare after suffering cardiac arrest during a match with Finland last year. Luckily, the 30-year-old has completely recovered and is playing well for Manchester United in the Premier League this season.
The bottom line is that Denmark is a superior squad used to competing against superior talent, having recently defeated both France and Austria in the UEFA Nations League. Therefore, I expect a low-scoring defensive battle.
Denmark vs Tunisia Betting Tips
- Denmark is 3-2 in their previous five outings.
- Tunisia is 3-1-1 in their previous five outings.
- Tunisia has three clean sheets in their last five matches.
- Denmark has two clean sheets in their last five matches.

This is the perfect wager, given my expectations for the match. I expect Denmark to control the game from start to finish, and this bet pays off better than a Halftime/Fulltime wager at +125 or even a Multiple Correct Score prop.
