Denmark, Australia, in a winners-takes-all encounter

Denmark and Australia meets in a do-or-die situation where the winner advances to the knockout stage along with France in their group. As France is almost done with the group stage, they await the winner of this match. Australia is on the second in their group stage with three points, while Denmark has one, placing them in the third. The winner goes to the next round unless the match between Tunisia and France ended differently. As both teams fighting for their lives, expect an intense and all-out game between the two teams. This meeting will be on November 30, 2022, at 11:00 PM (GMT+8).

Only four matches were played between these two teams with Denmark winning twice and Australia winning once. However, in the World Cup, these two teams only played once, in 2018, where that match ended in draw. Australia‘s only victory against Denmark was during the 2010 friendlies, where they had a 1-0 win. However, in the World Cup, they lost eight of their last 11 matches against any European opponent. As for Denmark, they are actually winless in their last five matches in the World Cup. They last won a match in the World Cup during their opening match against Peru in Russia 2018. This just proves that coming into this match, Denmark are the hungrier team.

With a five-game winless run in the contest, Denmark is hoping they could finally end it in this crucial match. They are currently at the third of their group, and have failed to impress in this game. After falling short against France with a score of 2-1 in their last fixture, they are hoping to be able to bounce back here. Additionally, despite having a very impressive squad, they have yet to show what the Danes can really do. They continuously struggle in the contest, as other members of their squad failed to step up in the contest. In this game, they need to prove why they are ranked as one of the highest-ranked teams in the World Cup.

After suffering a knee injury during their opener versus Tunisia, Thomas Delaney will miss out the remaining games of Denmark. With his absence, guys like Mikkel Damsgaard is expected to be ready to take his place. Additionally, Christian Eriksen and Martin Braithwaite are both expected to play an important role for the Danes.

Currently at the second place of the group stage, Australia is hoping to finally enter the knockout stage. If they are lucky enough to enter the knockout stage, that will just be their second time to qualify for that round. Due to their first two performance in the World Cup, they were able to establish themselves in the competition. This gives them higher chances to enter the knockout stage. On their last match, they stunned Tunisia in a 1-0 victory, and are hoping for the same result here. They are considered as dark horse in their group stage, and are hoping to pull off a surprise here.

Since Nathaniel Atkinson sustained an ankle injury, it will be Fran Karacic who will replace him. Martin Boyle on the other hand will not play until the end of their run, following his ACL injury.

Prediction:

Denmark (1.0)
Odds: 0.83
