Bert Van Marwijk says that there are no secrets between the Netherlands and Denmark as they prepare to do battle in Kharkiv.

Netherlands coach Bert Van Marwijk believes that his team are favourites to win their Euro 2012 Group B opener with Denmark.

The two teams faced each other at the World Cup in South Africa two years ago, with the Oranje emerging triumphant.

Van Marwijk said that he is expecting a tough test in Kharkiv but iniststed that his team are going for the win.

"I think we are the favourites, but it will not be easy," said Van Marwijk. "We both have the same way of playing, we don't have any secrets from one other.

"A lot of Danish players play in Holland or in the big competitions across Europe, and they are very similar to two years ago, with maybe four or five new players. We maybe have two or three different players.

"So we know it will not be easy but we are going for the win."

Netherlands won the European Championships in 1988.
