Australia lost their opening match of the tournament to France 2-1, despite what was a brave performance against a far superior team. Denmark, on the other hand, already have three points to their name after beating Peru 1-0.
If Australia are to get out of the group stage, they must get a result here. For Denmark, a draw, provided France beat Peru in the other group game to be played in this round of matches, will be enough to secure qualification.
As with every Socceroos game at the FIFA World Cup, it will be broadcast live on SBS. They have the rights to 25 games throughout the tournament, with Optus holding the rest, although, on Wednesday June 18 it was announced SBS would pick up the next 48 hours worth of games due to the failings of Optus and their live streaming.
Regardless, that announcement doesn’t affect this game. SBS will begin their coverage from the earlier time of 9pm (AEST), allowing for a one-hour build-up to the fixture.
SBS can be found on Channel 30 in high definition or 31 in standard definition. If you’re tuning in through Foxtel, you’ll need to use Channel 228 and 104 respectively.
To see the SBS coverage online, you’ll want to tune into The World Game website or application. They are the official SBS streaming service for Football events, with the service being free to use and download from both the Google Play and App store if streaming from a mobile or tablet.
The match is also broadcast on Optus Sport. To stream their coverage, you will need to sign up for a subscription worth $15 per month, unless you are already an Optus customer, in which case, it could be free. You will need to check the details of your mobile or broadband plan to confirm this information.
