Denmark and France meet in the UEFA U21 European Championship quarter-final on Sunday, with a spot in the last four on the line.
The Danes' reward for a fine group performance, which saw them beat a fancied Netherlands side, is arguably the best second-placed group side in France.
Gerald Baticle's side finished behind Portugal only on goal difference, and remained unbeaten in the group stage. Surprisingly, given their incredible talent production in recent decades, Les Bleus have not won the competition since their sole victory in 1988.
Could that change this year? Paddy Power makes them 4/6 favourites to win here, and Denmark rank outsiders at 16/5.

Denmark vs. France prediction, tips, bet builder and odds for Euro U21 quarter-final
France to win and Both Teams To Score: 21/10 (Bet365)
France are heavy favourites to go through, and are full of goals, but they have not been rock solid at the back so far in Slovakia.
A clean sheet came in the draw with Portugal, but Georgia put two past them in an almighty scare, while Poland grabbed a consolation in a 4-1 loss.
Les Bleus should have enough to see off the Danes, but it probably won't be too comfortable.
William Osula to score at any time: 11/4 (Paddy Power)
Alongside Portgual's Geovany Quenda, Osula has the most goal contributions so far in the competition with five (three goals, two assists). Two came in the stunning win over the Dutch, while he scored the winner in the late comeback victory over Ukraine.
If Denmark are to have a chance, they will need their main man to fire.
