Who are the potential dark horses in Qatar?

If I’m opposing France, then Denmark are the ones to take advantage in Group D and that means a possible clash with England in the quarter-final, in which the Danes can exact revenge for Euro 2020.

Serbia look overpriced at 100-1. They finished above a strong Portugal team in World Cup qualification and possess star quality in attack in Aleksandar Mitrovic, Dusan Vlahovic and Sergej Milinkovic-Savic.

Uruguay. They are at a stage where they have players coming towards their peak. Valverde and Bentancur in the middle are topdrawer, and Darwin Nunez can cause chaos up top. They could give you a run for your money.

Denmark are very solid and considering there is no outstanding team they could go far.

I like Denmark but I’m not sure they can be considered true outsiders any longer. Uruguay look a fair price and Serbia will be a team to avoid if they get out of their tough group.

After reaching the semi-finals of the Euros last year and winning five of their last seven games, including twice against France, Christian Eriksen’s Denmark could definitely give you a good run for your money at 28-1.

Uruguay. They consistently qualify for the latter stages, will fancy their chances against anyone, have a good mix of experience and youth, and will be an entertaining watch.

I like a few of the African sides and Uruguay but fear the last 16 may be their limit. However, Denmark have a favourable draw if they can win Group D and are strong all over the pitch, which could be pivotal come the knockout stage.
