Australia vs Denmark H2H
Topscorer
Australia’s Steph Catley has been absolutely killing it on the field, scoring a whopping two goals in recent matches. But don’t count out Denmark’s Sanne Troelsgaard just yet – she’s looking to double up on the one goal she scored in her last outing.
WIN – DRAW – WIN
OVER – UNDER
Over 2.5 goals was a winning bet in two of Australia’s three World Cup games in 2023. These matches produced a total of 3.3 goals on average. This far outshines the 1.3 goals Denmark’s World Cup games have averaged, with Under 2.5 goals being the right pick in each match.
BTTS & FIRST TO SCORE
Australia are normally quick off the mark, having scored the first goal in all three of their World Cup games. Denmark have pulled off the same feat twice in comparison. BTTS has been the right pick in just one of Australia’s three games.
