In group D, the second game in round two is between Ghana and Australia. In the first game Ghana won over Serbia with 1:0, scored by Asamoah Gyan, who did not miss the penalty that was given. Few minutes earlier Serbia was already with 10 man, when Aleksandar Lukovic was sent off for a 2nd yellow/red card.
Ghana, with most of their players playing in Europe, will try to qualify today for the round of 16.Ghana is also the youngest team in the world cup (average 24 years 9 months) which makes them very vital.
After the whopping defeat against Germany with 4:0, Australia will try to at least not to loose this game, since the point here will keep their chances to qualify. Looking over the statistics shows that they are very inconsistent in their games, when they loose from easy teams and defeat good teams like Denmark.
Australia and Ghana have met twice, in friendlies, where “the Kangaroos” have one once, and tied once, and both teams have difficulties scoring goals.
What to expect from this game and which bets are good for tonight?
Under 2.5 Goals @ 1.50 (Bet365.com): The lack of scoring in the previous two games between these teams points to this bet. The odds seem pretty good and the bet is safe overall.
Ghana – win @ 2.25 (Bet365.com): A minimal victory for Ghana, as in the first game is expected. If the African team can execute their game plan as before, we might see a quality game, but with very few goals.
The team also showed determination in 2006 when they lost the first game versus Italy, but won then over Czech Republic, and USA. This is why I think they will get the win today, and book a place among the top 16 teams on the final.
