Denmark will begin their World Cup journey in Group D against Tunisia at the Education City Stadium on Tuesday afternoon.
Both nations will be making the sixth appearance at the biggest footballing event.
Denmark qualified for the World Cup after amassing 27points from ten games in Group F, losing only to Scotland in their final game after scoring sixteen goals and five clean sheets in the process.
The Danes have been critical of Qatar hosting the tournament, but coach Kasper Hjulmand has noted that they will "concentrate on football" after stating that they will "fade" their team badge, hummel logo and decorative white chevrons into the same single colour as their shirt in protest against Qatar's poor human rights record.
Denmark are hopeful of victory after winning four of their last five group stage opening encounters at the mundial.
Kasper Dolberg and Skov Olsen strikes were enough to hand Denmark a 2:0 victory over reigning World champions France, who they will face later in the group stage, in September, to finish 2nd in the Group A of the UEFA nations league with just a point behind Croatia.
Manchester United midfielder, Christian Eriksen is expected to pull the strings in midfield for the Danes to start their Qatar journey on a good footing.
Tunisia will be making their second successive appearance after exiting from the group stage in Russia 2018.
Tunisia finished on top of Group B before eventually beating Mali 1:0 on aggregate to qualify for the global showpiece.
Two goals from Naim Sliti and Ali Abdi secured a 2:0 victory over Iran in an international friendly last week, after Brazil thumped them by 5:1 in September.
Coach Jalel Kadri has been tasked to lead Tunisia out of the group stage for the first time in their World Cup history.
31-year-old Wahbi Khazri will lead the attack for the Tunisia, as they hope to surprise Denmark to make a bold statement to group opponents France and Australia.
