If Australia can beat Denmark, they’re through. But a draw could go either way …
They are through to the round of 16. This is the simplest equation and the one that offers surety regardless of the other result. A defeat of Denmark, coupled with their win over Tunisia, would give Australia a total of six points. That means they would qualify as the second-placed finisher in the group behind France, who have already sealed their progression thanks to their two wins.This is more complicated.
On paper, France should be all over Tunisia. But Didier Deschamps could rest his best players in preparation for their first knockout match. Watch this space.This is decidedly less complicated. A defeat would end their campaign. Denmark would increase their tally to four points and leapfrog Australia.
