Australia qualified for the World Cup through a playoff spot. They finished outside the automatic qualification spots and had to beat Peru on penalties to book a ticket to Qatar. Australia has participated in the last five World Cup tournaments and will make its sixth World Cup appearance in Qatar. The Socceroos’ best finish at the World Cup came in 2006; they made it to the last 16, where Italy eliminated them. Australia would need a miracle to replicate their results in the 2006 World Cup.
Denmark was one of the most entertaining teams in the 2018 World Cup. They made it to the final 16, finishing behind France but were eliminated by Croatia on penalties. The Danish Dynamites would be making its sixth World Cup appearance in November. Denmark’s best finish came in the 1998 FIFA World Cup, where they lost to a star-studded Brazil in the Quarterfinals. Denmark was one of the best teams in the UEFA World Cup qualifiers. They won nine out of ten games, scoring 30 goals and conceding just three goals.
France arrives in Qatar as World Cup champions. They defeated Croatia in Russia to clinch the prized trophy in 2018. The Blues has qualified for the World Cup 16 times, winning the competition in 1998 and 2018. Didier Deschamps’ contract with France ends next year, and he would be looking to finish on a high note. Despite France’s recent struggles, it is hard to rule them out in this tournament. They are favorites to win the World Cup behind Brazil, and with the return of Karim Benzema, France can retain the trophy.
Tunisia will be making their sixth World Cup appearance in November with back-to-back participation. The Eagles of Carthage knocked out Mali to book a place in the group stage of the 2022 World Cup. Tunisia hasn’t qualified for the knockout stages of the World Cup, exiting the competition at the group stage five times. Their woes look set to continue even by Tunisian bookies, with France and Denmark expected to finish above the African giants.
France and Denmark were paired in the same group in the last World Cup. Both teams progressed to the knockout stages, and we expect a repeat in Qatar 2022, according to the odds. Tunisia and Australia do not have enough quality to pull off any surprises in this group. Denmark has improved since the 2018 World Cup in Russia and would provide stern competition for France. It’s hard to see Tunisia or Australia making it to the last 16. A bet on France and Denmark to qualify is a good wager in Group D.
France has a wealth of attacking talents at its disposal. Kylian Mbappe is one of the best forwards in the world, and with Karim Benzema in the squad, France should easily finish with the most goals in Group D. The Blues was the highest-scoring team in a similar group at the 2018 World Cup. For punters looking to bet on World Cup Qatar 2022, backing France to be top of the scoring charts in Group D is one of the best bets in the group stages.
Australia is the lowest-ranked team in this group, and it is worth noting that they struggled in the World Cup qualifiers. The Socceroos won just once in their last five games in the AFC World Cup Qualification finishing seven points behind the automatic qualification spots. Tunisia is eight spots above Australia on the FIFA World rankings and had a good outing in the Arab Cup, finishing as runner-up behind Algeria. Tunisia is in better form than Australia, and the Socceroos should finish at the bottom of Group D.
Group D is a two-way battle, as Tunisia and Australia are expected to finish bottom two. France and Denmark have too much firepower for the other two teams, and this game should decide the winner of this group. France is the favorite in this game, but Danish bookmakers have all the facts to believe in the local team. Denmark has already beaten the World champions twice this year and shouldn’t be written off.
