The model also has considered the Aussies have already earned a win and are looking to pull off a stunner against the Danes. Forward Mitchell Duke has supplied some of the offense, with the game-winner in the win over Tunisia, and he also scored the first goal in a 2-0 win over New Zealand in the team's friendly match heading into World Cup action.
