Australia take on Denmark at the Al Janoub Stadium, with both teams’ future in the competition on the line in this final Group D matchday. The Australians claimed a valuable victory against Tunisia, climbing to second place while Denmark fought with all they had against France yet eventually succumbed to a cruel late defeat. As far as group permutations go, victory will see Australia qualify, while a draw would be enough unless Tunisia beat France, which would see the North African side go through on goal difference. With regards to Denmark, they must win against Australia and if they do so, will be certain to qualify unless Tunisia beat France, which would leave them tied on four points with the North African side and goal difference would again come into play.
Denmark are overwhelming favourites in this one, with their win offered at average odds of 1.50. The Australians might be ahead of them in the standings, yet their win is found at much greater odds of 6.50 and the draw at odds of 4.00

Australia - Denmark: Form Analysis
Australia claimed an invaluable victory against Tunisia, with Mitchell Duke’s superb first-half header ensuring the Socceroos’ first World Cup win in 12 years and keeping their qualification dream very much alive. Australia were also surprisingly resolute in defence, keeping their first clean sheet at a World Cup after seventeen games. It extended an excellent record of six wins in their last seven games, having scored in all but one of those. On the downside, Australia are winless in their last three games against European sides, with all of those encounters coincidentally being against France and Denmark, as all three sides were drawn together for the 2018 World Cup as well. Denmark exhibited their familiar fight against France, completely shutting them out in the first half and even claiming the better chance. However, even the Danish side’s stubborn defence could not stop superstar Kylian Mbappe, whose brace crushed Denmark, leaving them with just a point in the standings. On the upside, Kasper Hjulmand’s side were much more positive in attack than against Tunisia, with their defeat being ultimately decided by moments of individual brilliance. While they have managed to keep three clean sheets in their last five, Denmark have won just two of their last six, with the clinical finishing they they showed at their Euro 2021 tournament being starkly missing in Qatar so far. They have also won two and drawn one of their recent four meetings against Australia, losing just once against them.
Despite Mitchell Duke scoring a magnificent header to decide the game, is was Stoke’s central defender Harry Souttar that claimed the plaudits, contributing immensely to Australia’s first World Cup clean sheet in twelve years. While he didn’t play against Tunisia, Australia’s future superstar in the making Garang Kuol could make an appearance here, positively impressing in his brief cameo against France in the opener. For Denmark, Andreas Cornelius was the most lively of the bunch, claiming the Danes’ biggest chance in the first half. However, it was another Andreas that broke the deadlock, with Christensen’s powerful header giving Denmark brief moments of hope. The midfield pairing of Eriksen and Hojberg should be once again crucial for Denmark’s qualification chances here, with the talismanic midfielders urgently needed to have a solid game against Australia.
Australia - Denmark Key Points
Australia have scored in six of their last seven games
Australia have found the net in eight of their last eleven World Cup games
Six of Denmark’s last seven away games have featured Over 2.5 goals
Denmark have conceded in eight of their last ten away games
Denmark have scored in four of their last six World Cup games
This should be a thrilling World Cup match. The two countries will need to be kept informed about what is happening in the France v Tunisia match that's played at the same time. Australia can qualify with a draw if Tunisia don't beat France. Therefore, if Tunisia fell behind to the world champions, Australia might just shut up shop and play for the draw. Denmark do not have the luxury though and have to win this match. Having said that, an entertaining game is on the cards, making the Over 2.5 goals selection our bet for this one.
Australia vs Denmark - Other Interesting Predictions
Denmark wins the match
The Danish side showed their familiar grit and organisation against France, and while Kylian Mbappe’s performance left them disappointed, we expect them to prevail against Australia.
Both Teams To Score
Australia have found the net in both World Cup games so far, while Denmark always possess quality in the final third. The ramifications of this matchup can be translated to a potentially end to end game, with both teams finding the net being another great value pick.
