Scotland vs Denmark Betting Odds

7bet offers competitive odds for all UEFA World Cup qualification matches, including this fixture.

1X2 Betting Odds

In the 1X2 football betting market, you can back one out of three possible results:

• 1: Home win (Scotland)
• X: Draw
• 2: Away win (Denmark)

Let’s take a look at the Scotland vs Denmark betting odds in the 1X2 market: Scotland has 5/2 odds for a win, Denmark has 8/7 odds, and a draw has 11/5 odds. This means that for every £2 you bet on Scotland, you’ll win £5 in profit if they win. Similarly, you win £11 for every £5 for correctly predicting a draw, and £8 for every £7 for predicting Denmark’s win. Your stake (betting amount) is also returned if your bet is successful.

Both teams have faced each other 19 times in UEFA fixtures. Scotland won 11 games, Denmark won seven, and one game ended in a draw. Use this data to minimize risk in this market. Also, consider whether the odds are long or short for your favourite team. Short odds pay less but have a higher chance of winning, while long odds pay more but rarely win.

Double Chance Odds

The Double Chance market increases your chances of winning by covering two outcomes in a single bet:

• Scotland or Draw (1X): This bet has 8/13 odds and covers the possibility of either Scotland winning or the game ending in a draw. You lose if Denmark wins.
• Scotland or Denmark (12): The 12 bet for this fixture has 1/3 odds and covers a win for either team. This bet loses if the match draws.
• Draw or Denmark (X2): This has 3/10 odds and covers a draw or Denmark’s win. It loses if Scotland wins.

This market is useful if you are unsure which team to back or if both teams appear to be evenly matched. Since both Scotland and Denmark are neck and neck in the Group C rankings, Double Chance bet may be a better choice over 1X2. However, the tradeoff is that your potential profit is lower as your chance of winning is higher in this market.

Handicap Betting Odds

Choose a handicap bet when one team appears to be stronger in the fixture. For example, you believe that Denmark has an edge, but you want to bet on Scotland. Choose a handicap to give a disadvantage to Denmark. A -1 handicap means one point will be deducted from Denmark’s final goal tally, and one point will be awarded to Scotland. Your bet wins or loses depending on the adjusted final score.

Here’s how it works:

• Scotland (+0.25)/ Denmark (-0.25): This is a small handicap that awards a win to Scotland in case of a draw. For example, if the match ends 1–1, the handicap adjusted score will be read as 1.25–0.75, giving a win to bets on Scotland.
• Scotland (+1.25) / Denmark (-1.25): Bets on Scotland win if they win, draw, or lose by a two-goal margin. A score of 0–2 will be adjusted 1.25–0.75, giving a win to Scotland. However, Denmark will be able to overcome the gap with a three-goal win margin.
• Scotland (-1.5) / Denmark (-1.5): This is the opposite scenario, where Denmark gets a big advantage. Scotland will need to win the match with at least a four-goal margin to overcome the gap.

Wider handicaps will give you a better chance of winning. However, the wider the handicap, the shorter your odds will be.

Both Teams to Score (BTTS) Odds

The Both Teams to Score (BTTS) market considers whether both teams will score at least one goal in the match. You can bet on one of these two outcomes:

• BTTS Yes: Both teams will score at least one goal. The Scotland vs Denmark odds for BTTS Yes are 10/11.
• BTTS No: At least one team doesn’t score. It could be a 0–0 draw, or one team scores while the other doesn’t, like 0–1, 2–0, etc. The odds for BTTS No are also 10/11.
  

As you may note, both the Yes and No odds are similar in this fixture, which means the match could go either way. So, look at the clean sheet records to decide your bet. A clean sheet is when the team’s defense is strong and the opposition team fails to score any goals.

Goal Total (Over/Under) Odds

Predict whether the total goals scored on Tuesday will be over or under your chosen number. For this fixture, the betting line is set at 2.5 goals. So, if the final score looks like 1–2, the combined total becomes three, and Over 2.5 bets win.

Here’s how you can pick:

• Over 2.5 Goals: Select this if you believe we will see a high-scoring match. Any total above three wins in this bet. So, scores like 2–1, 2–2, or 3–0 win.
• Under 2.5 Goals: This market is useful if you think it will turn out to be a slow match with very few goals. Any total under three, 0–2, 0–0, 1–0, 1–1 wins in this bet.

Consider the Scotland vs Denmark odds in this market after checking both teams’ recent scoring history. You can lower your risk by choosing low goal totals, such as Over 0.5, which wins as long as at least one team scores.

Correct Score Odds

Bettors need to predict the precise score in this market. You can select any combination of the final score between zero and +5 by adjusting the betting line. The correct score market always has long odds because of the risk involved. However, it is better to play it safe and bet only small amounts here, as predicting a precise score is difficult.
