A very important World Cup game in group D between Australia and Denmark. While the Australians have 3 points, the Danes are in the 3rd place with just a point. In order to qualify for the TOP 16, Denmark needs to win and any other outcome will send them home. Australians can afford to get a draw if Tunisia doesn't beat France because then Australia needs to have at least one more goal than the Tunisians. In this game, I'm predicting Denmark to win.

On Saturday, Australia beat Tunisia and that was only their 3rd win in World Cup history. Their form in previous World Cups against European sides presents cause for concern though, as they have lost eight of their 11 meetings with sides from the continent, failing to keep a clean sheet in all of those matches, while they have won just one of their four games versus Denmark. The Danes manager Kasper Hjulmand pointed to his side progressing from the Euro 2020 group stage after losing the first two of their three matches as a source of hope.

During this tournament, Australia had 13 shots and three were on target while Denmark had 21 shots with seven on target. Since the summer, the Australians have scored in every game but five games were played against teams like Peru, United Arab Emirates, New Zealand (twice) and Jordan. The same can be said about Denmark as the team has scored one or two goals in all games since the summer.

The Danes have only failed to qualify from the group stage in one of their previous five appearances at the tournament, while Australia has only made it to the last 16 once in their history back in 2006. Denmark played very well in the qualification as they had nine wins in ten games and they didn't concede a single goal in eight games. Some positive strides were seen in the last game as France managed to get the victory only in the last 10 minutes. The Danes are more experienced and their roster is more talented overall.

Even though they only need a draw to progress, Australia will find it difficult against a determined Danish side who will be desperate not to be one of the major underperformers at these finals. Denmark performed when the pressure was on against Russia at Euro 2020, and they could well pull out a similar display here.

一场非常重要的世界杯D组比赛在澳大利亚和丹麦之间进行。澳大利亚队积3分，丹麦队仅积1分，排名第三。为了获得16强的资格，丹麦队需要赢得比赛，其他任何结果都将把他们送回家。如果突尼斯没能击败法国，澳大利亚也能拿到平局，因为澳大利亚至少要比突尼斯多进一个球。在这场比赛中，我预测丹麦会赢。

上周六，澳大利亚击败突尼斯，这是他们在世界杯历史上的第三场胜利。然而，他们在此前世界杯上对阵欧洲球队的表现令人担忧，因为他们在11次对阵欧洲球队的比赛中输掉了8场，未能在所有的比赛中保持零封，而他们在对阵丹麦的4场比赛中只赢了一场。丹麦主帅卡斯珀·赫尔曼德(Kasper Hjulmand)指出，他的球队在三场比赛中输掉前两场后，从2020年欧洲杯小组赛中出线，这是希望的来源。

在本届比赛中，澳大利亚有13次射门，其中3次射正;丹麦有21次射门，其中7次射正。自今年夏天以来，澳大利亚队除了与秘鲁、阿联酋、新西兰(2次)和约旦等球队的5场比赛外，其他比赛都有进球。丹麦队也是如此，自从夏天以来，他们在所有的比赛中都进了一到两个球。

丹麦此前5次参加世界杯，只有1次未能从小组出线，而澳大利亚在2006年的历史上只有一次进入16强。丹麦队在预选赛中表现出色，他们在10场比赛中取得了9场胜利，在8场比赛中一球未失。在上一场比赛中，法国队在最后10分钟才取得胜利，取得了一些积极的进步。丹麦人更有经验，他们的阵容更有天赋。

尽管他们只需要一场平局就能出线，但澳大利亚还是会发现，面对意志坚定的丹麦，他们会感到很困难，因为他们不希望在本届决赛中成为表现不佳的球队之一。丹麦在2020年欧洲杯对阵俄罗斯时的表现是有压力的，他们很可能在本届欧洲杯上拿出类似的表现。
