Meeting for the fourth time since 2007 but for the first time ever in tournament play, Denmark and Australia will face off on Matchday 2 of the 2018 World Cup with the 1-0-0 Danes installed as -110 moneyline favorites at Sportsbook.
Coming back as +345 underdogs, the Socceroos were somewhat unlucky not to earn a point in their Sportsbook fixture against France and they could give Denmark a game in this one with their tournament lives on the line.
- 6 of Australia’s last 7 World Cup games have had 3 or more goals.
- Denmark players are 6 cm taller than Australia players on average.
- The OddsShark Super Computer is predicting a 2-1 Denmark win.
Denmark vs Australia Betting Odds
Sportsbooks opened the total for this one at 2 with the OVER offered at -125 chalk. The Danes were close to conceding more than a few times against Peru and a 1-0 scoreline was not super indicative of how the match played out.
An OVER machine at the last few World Cups, the Aussies have seen three or more goals scored in six of their last seven Finals games. You might want to check out some alternative totals in this one if you like that trend to continue and are looking for some extra value.
Looking at the odds to win the World Cup, neither side saw a massive shift after two fairly predictable results in their Sportsbook fixtures.
Super Computer Picks
Predicting a 2-1 Danish win, the Super Computer is playing the chalk on the moneyline and the total and is on a nice little winning streak of late, cashing on the Japan ML (+440).
The computer and I have been on the same side quite frequently this tournament and I tend to agree with this pick. Denmark is the better side and this fixture could have goals aplenty.
Best Bets for Denmark vs Australia
I don’t think you can go wrong with Denmark on the moneyline but I’ll be looking at an adjusted OVER 2.5 totals bet at +155 as well.
Australia needs three points from this contest to have any hope at getting through to the knockout stage and that means they’ll have to attack. This could leave them exposed at the back and we all know how lethal Christian Eriksen is on the counter.
All the crafty Dane needs is one touch to send his team off in attack and if this game opens up, he should give his teammates ample opportunities to score.
