Australia vs Denmark prediction: How will World Cup fixture play out?
Group D comes to a head at the Qatar World Cup, as Australia and Denmark seek to join France in the knockout stages while eliminating their opponents here.
France fell behind against Australia but ultimately emerged 4-1 winners, before also seeing off a spirited Denmark side 2-1. In doing so, the defending champions booked their place in the last 16.
Elsewhere, Australia responded well to achieve a narrow victory over Tunisia, who had held Denmark to a goalless draw prior to that.
Australia would progress with a win against Denmark here, while any other outcome would complicate matters and see goal difference likely come into play.
Here’s all you need to know.
When is it?
Australia vs Denmark is scheduled to kick off at 3pm GMT (6pm local time) on Wednesday 30 November.
The game is set to take place at the Al Janoub Stadium in Al-Wakrah.
How can I watch it?

What is the team news?
Right back Nathaniel Atkinson could miss out for Australia after an ankle issue sidelined him for the win over Tunisia. Martin Boyle, meanwhile, remains an absentee from the Socceroos’ frontline.
Denmark will be without Thomas Delaney here, and for the knockout stages if the Danes advance, after the midfielder injured his knee in their opening game in Qatar.
