Australia v Denmark Preview

Australia v Denmark Preview

Mayes Yousef

Australia and Denmark will meet tonight in a Group D match at Al Janoub Stadium.

The two teams met at the 2018 World Cup, with the game ending in a 1-1 draw.

A reappearance of that outcome would knock Denmark out of this year’s tournament.

Denmark need a win and if Tunisia also win their final game against France, it will all come down to goal difference, with both Denmark and Tunisia level on four points.

Australia have an easier path with a win seeing them progress to the Round of 16, but so would a draw if Tunisia lose their match to France.

Denmark and Australia have scored only three goals between them over two games.

Australia lost their first match 4-1 to France, but rebounded in their second fixture to beat Tunisia 1-0.

Kick-off is at 18:00 Doha time.

Australia line-up: Ryan, Degenek, Souttar, Rowles, Behich, Leckie, Irvine, Mooy, Goodwin, Duke, McGree 

Denmark line-up: Schmeichel, Maehle, Christensen, Andersen, Nissen, Jensen, Hojbjerg, Lindstorm, Eriksen, Olsen, Braithwaite
