Outright Odds: 125/1
Group F Winners: 14/1

After a 32 year absence from the finals, Australia finally overcame their play-off hoodoo to qualify for Germany. Play off agony to Iran in 1997 and Uruguay in 2001 was vanquished last November as the Australians again faced Uruguay and beat them in a penalty shoot-out.

Outright Odds: 300/1
Group F Winners: 16/1

Japan are a difficult team to predict. Last year they beat European champions Greece and earned a credible draw with Brazil in last year’s Confederations Cup but their qualifying campaign was less than convincing.

They lost just once in 12 qualifying matches, away at Iran, and topped the group overall, but they only managed to score more than two goals against a severely depleted Indian side and needed last minute wins against Oman and Korea DPR.

Tunisia had not lost at home to Morocco in 45 years and the draw in Rades ensured they qualified ahead of their rivals.

127). League One Betting Review - 7 August 2006
