Australia is all set to take on Denmark in a Do-or-Die group stage campaign on Wednesday at Al Janoub Stadium. With France being the first side to make it through the Last 16s, the Socceroos hold the advantage coming into this clash, following victory over Tunisia and presiding 2nd position with 4 points.
While reaching knockouts once in 2006, out of five appearances, team Australia won their third-ever World Cup match against Tunisia, and now they are eyeing to rewrite history. If they slip behind the line, however, they will suffer the same fate as they did in their previous four tournaments.
On the other hand, Denmark has found itself on the verge of earlier elimination though they reached the tournament after winning eight of nine qualifiers and picked up the highest points in the UEFA qualifications; yet defeat against Australia could book their journey.
Having inspiration from previous performances, Denmark would like to take down Australia as they had successfully made it through super 16s four times out of five appearances. Nevertheless, Socorro’s has a positive starter into this event, and they’re riding on high tides.
Australia possible starting lineup:
Ryan; Karacic, Souttar, Rowles, Behich; Leckie, Irvine, Mooy, McGree, Goodwin; Duke
Denmark possible starting lineup:
Schmeichel; Andersen, Kjaer, Christensen; Kristensen, Hojbjerg, Eriksen, Maehle; Skov Olsen, Dolberg, Damsgaard
