Notes

1. 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]
2. Denmark required to play two qualifying games at least 140 km away from Copenhagen as punishment for the abandonment of their previous home match.
3. The goal tally takes into account the original result of fixtures that were subsequently forfeited, not the awarded scoreline.
