Notes
- The Denmark v Sweden match was abandoned in the 89th minute with the score at 3–3, following a fan attack on the referee.[9] UEFA awarded the match as a 3–0 forfeit win to Sweden following a hearing on 8 June 2007.[10]
- Denmark required to play two qualifying games at least 140 km away from Copenhagen as punishment for the abandonment of their previous home match.
- The goal tally takes into account the original result of fixtures that were subsequently forfeited, not the awarded scoreline.
