Defending champions France have already confirmed their early presence in the round of 16 with Brazil and Portugal as they have reached 6 points, three more than Australia, while Denmark shares last place with Tunisia, both with 1 point.
Australian coach Graham Arnold will be able to count on midfielder Ajdin Hrustic, who came on as a substitute in the 1-0 win against Tunisia after recovering from injury. Likewise, the coach will evaluate at the last minute whether to insert defender Nathanial Atkinson from the start, who was absent in the second game in the area due to an ankle problem.
