Betting On Denmark V Sweden.
17th June 2008, by
The match between Sweden and Denmark in the group stage of UEFA Euro 2004 promised to be a close and significant game for both teams. Group C of the Euro 2004 tournament featured a clear favourite in Italy whilst Denmark and Sweden were ranked two and three and finally Bulgaria make up the four. Denmark and Sweden met on 22 June 2004 in their last group match before the quarter finals. Astute punters were predicting the Scandinavian teams will challenge each other for the second place in the quarter finals with Italy taking the other place.

Strong Swedish Defense.
The Swedes have demonstrated on numerous occasions that their defense is strong and reliable. However, it is their attacking flair which has been missing in recent matches. Key players include Arsenal livewire Fredrik Ljungberg and the stocky Kim Kallstrom of Rennes who will make up the midfield dynamism. Their striker is Ajax player Zlatan Imbraimovic. Although extremely gifted, his inconsistent form and also, not knowing if he will be distracted during matches remains the problem in the Swedish line-up.
Danish Star Players.
The Danish team consisted of many individual stars who have made a name for themselves in some of the top European clubs. Jon Dahl Tomasson who has played for AC Milan this season will keep his defensive opponents threatened throughout the tournament. Udinese midfielder Martin Jorgensen has an impressive record of strong running and accurate long-range shooting and is arguably the biggest threat to the other three teams. Defenders for Denmark include three Serie A players, namely, Per Kroldrup, Thomas Helveg and Martin Laursen.
Italy's first match set the tone for the rest of the tournament. The Italians played poorly scoring 2 draws and a win to exit the tournament before the quarter-finals.
Bulgaria was clearly the underdog team in the Group C line-up. There have been several serious problems leading up to Euro 2004. This included a pay dispute and major weaknesses in their defensive capabilities. Defensive right back and Charlton player Radostin Kishishev left the Bulgarian team when the captaincy was given to another player.
