Wednesday, November 30, 3pm: Australia v Denmark (BBC2) & Tunisia v France (BBC1)

France -1

France secured their place in the Last 16 with a win over Denmark last time out, becoming the first European defending champions to avoid a group stage exit in the World Cup since Germany in 1994. They have all but secured their place as group winners, unless they suffer a heavy defeat on Wednesday and Australia inflict a similarly heavy defeat on Denmark in the other group game. 

With that scenario extremely unlikely, Didier Deschamps has the luxury of resting some of his key players ahead of a round-of-16 fixture that will take place just four days after they take on Tunisia. 

Tunisia, on the other hand, still remain alive and kicking in the competition but will rely on favours if they are to advance from the group stages for the first time in their history. They have been uninspired but difficult to break down in their two group games to date but face an entirely different prospect in France, even if it is a much-rotated French squad. 

A number of fringe players will be keen to impress Deschamps ahead of the knockout stages and it is difficult to see anything but a comfortable France win on Wednesday.

Both teams to score, No 

Tunisia have yet to score in the World Cup and are one of just three nations at the competition to boast such a lamentable record after two games. They have hardly looked like scoring in their 0-0 draw with Denmark and 1-0 defeat to Australia and will find the going just as tough against France on Wednesday. 

France have conceded somewhat sloppy goals against both Denmark and Australia but should comfortably keep Tunisia at bay.

Denmark to Win

Denmark showed that they are no mugs in their 2-1 defeat to France last time out, but they also highlighted their one key failing – the absence of a quality centre forward. The Danes are comfortably the second-best team in Group D on paper but find themselves in a must-win situation due to their failure to break down a fairly poor Tunisia side in their group opener. 

Australia, on the other hand, were taken apart by France once they surrendered their shock early lead and had just about enough to beat Tunisia last time out.

They will almost certainly play for the draw that will see them advance to the last-16 but they should have one eye on the other fixture in the group in case Tunisia spring a surprise against the French.

The Australians held Denmark to a 1-1 draw in Russia four years ago and will be hoping for a similar result on Wednesday. However, Denmark should have just about enough for them.

Christian Eriksen to Score or Assist

Christian Eriksen scored in Denmark’s draw with Australia four years ago and could make a key contribution here once more. The Manchester United midfielder is the beating heart of the Danish team, with 39 goals and 26 assists in 119 international appearances. 

He has not scored or assisted at this World Cup but it was his wicked delivery from a corner that led to Denmark’s equaliser against France and it feels as though Denmark struggle for goals even more if Eriksen is not contributing.
