If there is one thing about Australia, I expect their defence to still be 'tough to crack' at the back. Might get good value for 'Under 2.5 goals' in their matches. having a look at how they performed in 2010 World CupGermany 4-0 Australia (they were clearly outclassed)Ghana 1-1 AustraliaAustralia 2-1 Serbia (it was a game where they had to win by at least 4 goals to progress, and had to attack)2006 World CupAustralia 3-1 Japan Brazil 2-0 AustraliaCroatia 2-2 Australia (a game where they needed to at least draw to qualify)Italy 1-0 AustraliaMight be worth laying the Dutch, Spain or Chile to score less than 3 goals , as I do think the bigger teams struggle to break down Australia's defence.
I wouldn't take 2006 in to account. They had Hiddink in charge, who's a miracle worker.
