4 Tips for Wednesday’s World Cup Action - 30/11/22

Australia and Denmark meet in back-to-back FIFA World Cups on Wednesday, with Australia knowing that a draw would see them through Group D provided Tunisia don’t earn a stunning victory over world champions France.

Christian Eriksen will be the key to Denmark’s chances on Wednesday. The 30-year-old Manchester United midfielder takes set pieces for Kasper Hjulmand’s side and is their most creative player in the centre of the pitch. The 30-year-old has 39 goals and 26 assists for his country in 119 caps and has had four shots on target in his last four games for Denmark.

Tunisia and France go head to head on Wednesday in Group D’s other fixture, with the Eagles of Carthage needing an unlikely win to enhance their chances of qualifying for the Round of 16.

France have been in irresistible form, as the likes of Olivier Giroud has two goals to his name following a brace against Australia, whilst Kylian Mbappe also scored against the Socceroos, on top of his double versus Denmark last time out.

Last time out, France had 21 shots, getting seven on target against Denmark. In their 4-1 hammering of Australia, Didier Deschamps’ men put seven shots on target from a total of 23 attempts. It is not unfeasible that this leg of the bet could come off.

In Tunisia’s narrow 1-0 defeat against Australia, they were shown three yellow cards across the match.

Poland against Argentina promises to be a fascinating contest, with both sides knowing that a win could send their opponents out of the competition as a whole.

Argentina managed to get off the mark with a 2-0 win over Mexico last time out thanks to goals by Lionel Messi and Enzo Fernandez. Here, we back Messi to score what would be his third goal in three matches, while also receiving and giving an assist to his strike partner Lautaro Martinez of Inter Milan.

Both of these players scored seven goals each in CONMEBOL qualifying. Martinez has 21 goals in 42 matches for Argentina, whilst creating seven assists, while Messi has scored 93 and set up 53 goals in 167 appearances.

Saudi Arabia and Mexico promised to be an interesting match-up, with Herve Renard’s men knowing that a win will take them to the Round of 16 for the first time since 1994, while Gerardo Martino’s side knows that they must win to have any chance of qualifying.

Saudi Arabia were beaten 2-0 by Poland last time out after beating Argentina 2-1 on matchday one. But, the Saudis were unlucky against the Poles, having had a penalty saved - on top of this, they had five corners and were shown three yellow cards.

Last time out, Mexico were defeated 2-0 by Argentina and will be keen to make amends for it. In this game, they had two corners and were shown four yellow cards.
