Ghana v Australia

Contrasting fortunes for these two sides with Ghana winning their match and Denmark being beaten comfortably by Holland. Ghana could all but seal their qualification with a win here whilst Australia will be desperate for a win to keep their World Cup hopes alive.

Ghana v Australia Match Odds

Match betting is a massively popular market and the first market most punters choose to look at as your decision in this market is likely to impact all other bets you place on the game.

BACK GHANA TO BEAT AUSTRALIA

The bookies think that Australia are the worst team in Group D but they also make this a game that could go either way and it could come down to how much Australia miss the suspended Tim Cahill, the answer is probably a lot. Both sides have their strengths and weaknesses and neither are likely to score too many goals meaning if there was to be a victory for either of the teams, it would surely be a narrow one. The suspension to Tim Cahill should be the deciding factor and Ghana look a fair bet to win this one.

Ghana v Australia Asian Handicap Odds

The Asian Handicap is an interesting bet as it usually gives one team a lead that should be enough to cancel out any superiority the favourites for the game have.

Ghana v Australia Goals Odds

Take a look at recent results for the two sides to help decide what the best bets are in the over/under betting and also the correct score market.

Ghana Recent World Cup Qualification Results

Australia Recent Competitive Results

BACK GHANA 1-0 AND UNDER 2.5 GOALS

Ghana love a low scoring game, all four of their African Nations Cup matches ended 1-0, three of them in Ghana's favour. They have also had a 1-0 win and a 0-0 draw in recent African Nations Cup qualifiers so it is clear that if they are to win it will be by a 1-0 scoreline.

In the final qualifying group in the Asian qualifying section Australia managed to concede just one goal in eight matches which is quite some record, with both defences looking particularly strong the best bet just has to be under 2.5 goals, even under 1.5 goals is probably a good bet. As for correct scores this will hopefully for us end up 1-0 to Ghana, if you back it with Bet365 and the game ends 0-0 your losing stake will be refunded.

Ghana v Australia Player Odds

Some of the most fun markets to bet on are the player markets, such as first goalscorer and anytime goalscorer. They are usually relatively big odds and can give plenty of reward if you pick correctly.

Ghana v Australia Team News

Both of these teams will be missing their most influential player, Ghana's Michael Essien was not deemed fit enough to make the final Ghana 23 man squad whilst the sending off for Tim Cahill means he misses out.

BACK MATTHEW AMOAH TO SCORE FIRST

The main goal threat for Ghana could prove to be NAC Breda striker Matthew Amoah whilst Australia would have relied on Tim Cahill most for goals at the World Cup but he is suspended, so best to concentrate on Ghana players. Since we only expect one goal in this match it should pay to back Amoah to score the first goal of the game.

Ghana v Australia Half Time Odds

The latest tips that include the half time result in them, some of the most popular bets here are half time result and half time/full time.

BACK THE DRAW AT HALF TIME

Ghana are unlikely to throw the kitchen sink at this one as a draw is still a decent result for them and with very few goals expected there is a high chance this game will still be 0-0 at half time. Neither side want to lose it and they should both be pretty cautious, in the first half especially, and the half time draw looks a good bet.

Ghana v Australia Best Bet

BACK UNDER 2.5 GOALS

It is quite difficult to point out where two goals are going to come from in this match, never mind the three goals needed to make under 2.5 goals a losing bet. Many punters will probably be backing 0-0 in this match such is the confidence about a low scoring game, even though we think Ghana will edge it it has the look of a very low scoring match.
