AUSTRALIA VS DENMARK
Group D will be a life-and-death battle today. Denmark will face Australia in the match at Al Janub Stadium at 8.30 PM IST.
Pre-quarter entry is mandatory for Denmark. So today they will forget everything and fight. The Danish team will be aiming for a win as a draw or defeat will dash their knockout hopes.
Australia, on the other hand, will not be so tense. Because they can secure a knockout even if the match is a draw. For this reason alone they will prioritize defence. Their goal is not to face defeat. Australia is currently second behind France with 3 points from 2 matches. Meanwhile, Denmark is third with only one point. If they win today, they can climb to second place with 4 points. Fans hope for players like Eriksson, Dolberg, Hojberg, Christianson, Olsen, Dumsgaard and Brathwaite. The quality of the last 2 matches is not enough for them to overcome Australia today.
So you can see a fierce fight. In any case, it remains to be seen whether the Danish team will crush Australia and advance to the pre-quarters, or whether Australia will hold off Denmark and make an incredible leap from Group D.
