Bookmaker Ratings Prediction One: Under 4 Yellow Cards – 1.33
Bookmaker Ratings Prediction Two: Over 7.5 Corners – 1.36
Bookmaker Ratings Prediction Three: 1st Half Draw – 2.19
Under 4 Yellow Cards
Recent games of both Australia and Denmark have been ones with low bookings. To illustrate, the last four games of both teams in competitive games produced three or fewer yellow cards. Likewise, the h2h meeting in the previous WC also saw two bookings.
Over 7.5 Corners
Three of Australia’s previous four competitive games produced seven or more corners. In the same sense, the corners awarded in Denmark’s previous four games is the same as Australia’s. Moreover, the last meeting between these two in Russia 2018 produced eight corners.
1st Half Draw
In the most recent game between these teams in the previous World Cup, the first half ended in a draw. Additionally, three of the Aussies’ last four games ended in a draw. As for Denmark, the same outcome happened in the first half of the same number of matches.
Australia
After a tough loss in the first round at the hands of reigning champions France, Australia bounced back with a win against Tunisia in their second game at the Qatar 2022 World Cup. With that win, the Socceroos kept their hopes alive of reaching the knockout stage for the second time after 2006 in Germany.
However, looking at the statistics of the game with Tunisia we can see that manager Graham Arnold’s men were not the better team on the pitch. To explain, Australia kept the ball for 42% of the time and had two fewer shots on goal with two. Still, the Socceroos will fight for it as a draw is enough to snatch the second spot.
Denmark
With one point from two games, Denmark have their destiny in their own hands as they need a win at all costs to secure the second position in Group D. A disappointing first match draw with Tunisia was followed by a defeat at the hands of France which made the Danes’ situation complicated.
Obviously, manager Kasper Hjulmand’s team needs to be much more effective in attack. To illustrate, in the previous two games, Denmark were able to hit the target six times of which they scored just one goal through defender Christensen. Thus, Hjulmand needs a different attacking strategy if he wants his team to grab all three points on Tuesday.
Both Australia and Denmark have had matches with a few infringements recently. The bookies are favoring a low number of yellow cards in this game. The match will see Australia defending deep and Denmark attacking which will limit duels and in turn bookings.
Denmark have scored two or fewer goals in nine of their last ten fixtures in all competitions. Australia meanwhile conceded the same number of goals in also the same number of games. With odds of 1.60 at Vbet, we predict Denmark to score under two goals.
