Denmark host DR Congo on Wednesday 3 June, kickoff 20:45 SAST. Pre-World Cup warm-up for Denmark, who qualified through the European section and are using the friendly window to fine-tune their tournament XI.

The structural advantage in the European side is clear; the question is whether the friendly format gives Congo enough latitude to keep this close.

The Form Line
Denmark have been the most under-rated of the European qualifying sides. They came through their group efficiently and have a settled defensive structure. Most SA books price Denmark at 1.55 to 1.65 across Hollywoodbets and Betway.
DR Congo missed the World Cup but were one of the more dangerous CAF sides through qualifying. The attacking talent is there - the structural and travel issues that affect African sides in European friendlies remain the question.
