Great Britain v Australia Men’s Hockey betting is going to produce a fascinating match up on Sunday. This is a battle between the top two and there is not too much to split the teams. The Brits and the Aussies are top of Pool A level on points after two wins and a draw each. It is Australia who have a far superior goal difference though with a +11 compared to Britain’s +6. So this is a crucial match, because if Britain can get a win against their old rivals, then they will be in the driving seat to qualifying top of the group. It should ensure that they do make the semi finals of the tournament, with the top two from each of the groups moving ahead. Great Britain have defied a bit of expectation so far, hammering Argentina 4-1 in their opening match before a below-par performance saw them just about manage to scrape a point off South Africa in their second match. That could have been a disastrous result with only the top two team progressing, but fortunately Great Britain were helped out by Argentina then surprisingly holding the Aussies to a draw. Great Britain did respond well from that draw, as they upped their game to take a 4-1 win over Pakistan.
That has kept them level with Australia and now this should be a shoot out for top spot. Great Britain will have one final pool match to come after this, with a game to come against Spain. So Great Britain v Australia Hockey betting is going to be the big one here. Defeat for either of the sides would create pressure with Pakistan and Spain just three points behind the leaders, and they could use the opportunity to catch up. Australia will go into the match as favourites, because they are still fancied to go on and win the tournament outright. So Great Britain will have a battle on their hands, but with star striker Ashley Jackson coming into form, striking four goals in games, Britain may fancy sneaking at least a point here.
