I don't know if the bookmakers judged by yesterdays -6 for Sweden against Spain when fixing the odds, but Denmark cannot be this big a favorite in my opinion. Victories against Russia and Macedonia are not a benchmark, in both cases their opponents fell apart in the second half which resulted in such overwhelming victories. However, Switzerland demonstrated yesterday the extent of problems the Danes are in against a well organized team, and Sweden definitely is one. Let's not forget that Sweden came here as a medal contender, next to Spain the biggest favorite in this part of the draw, and definitely with better chances of a high ranking than Denmark. After the match yesterday Henriksen said Switzerland have better players individually, prior to the championship he also said this generation has not big stars, and after four games that has certainly been proven true. When they need to grind down their opponents as a team, Denmark has no problems, but against a quality team the lack of individual quality shows. In Nilsson and Hallback Sweden has what Denmark are lacking, they have a tougher defense and better goalkeeper, and should be the favorite here in my opinion. The bookmakers might have taken into account that Sweden can lose by up to three goals here when they made the odds, but this match is played in an earlier timeslot, and I doubt Sweden would calculate like that. There is little room for that, and it's easy to go from a tied game to -3 in the last two minutes, which would eliminate Sweden. Apart from that, a victory pressures Switzerland, as they would then need to beat Spain with a certain lead, making things more difficult for them mentally. Denmark will be burdened by having to win by +3, which could create pressure on younger players, and they cannot be such favorites in my opinion.
