Anything but a win on Wednesday morning would mean the end of the World Cup campaign for Denmark. For Australia, it’s just the opposite – Socceroos just need not to lose to advance to the knockout phase.
Before Betting on Australia vs. Denmark
Before the start of the tournament, offshore betting sites saw Denmark as the no.10 favorite to lift the trophy on December 18. The World Cup winner odds on the Danes were somewhere in the ballpark of +3000 but are now much longer. Right now, offshore bookies are giving +6500 on Denmark winning the World Cup.
The reason behind the odds move is that Danish Dynamite haven’t been very lethal since coming to Qatar. After two games, they have one point and a score differential of 1-2. Defender Andreas Christensen scored their only goal.
Danish forwards, on the other hand, have been very disappointing. Not only have they failed to score, but they also haven’t made too many goal chances so far. That will have to change in the game against the Aussies – Denmark just need to go for a win.
Luckily for them, the Australians are not great at the back. The evidence is that they conceded four goals against France in Round 1. They did keep a clean sheet against Tunisia, but that’s more because of the dreadful offense of the Carthage Eagles.

Australia vs. Denmark Prediction & Pick
Denmark’s Achilles heel is their attack. To put it simply, they’re not good. On the bright side for the Danes, they do have a lot of other players who can do the job of the attackers.
With midfielders like Christian Eriksen and Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, and even defenders like Andreas Christensen, Denmark don’t have to worry about beating Australia.
Pick: Denmark
