Wales have not been playing well this season or in the Rugby World Cup, but they managed to escape their match against Fiji with a bonus point. If they can win against the Wallabies on Sunday evening, they will take the Wallabies' fate out of their own hands.

Wales' Louis Rees Zammit has been in great form so far in the Rugby World Cup and is expected to start strongly. He is a good bet to score the first try of the match.

As for the first points we feel they are likely to come for Wales off the boot of Dan Biggar. Wales are a disciplined side and Australia are prone to self-destructing.

Australia have moved their goalkicker Ben Donaldson from fullback to fly-half but he might struggle to get the Wallabies backline going against a solid Wales defence.

Doubling up on two red-hot wingers will give you some great value with the market for Rees Zammit and Mark Nawaqanitawase to both score tries being a very generous one.

Wales winning by 6-10 points is what you would probably expect when you stack these two teams up on paper.

Veteran coaches Warren Gatland and Eddie Jones lock horns once again and this match will have added significance because of their rivalry.

Wales are now very short to reach the Rugby World Cup quarter-finals and will have one foot in the last eight if they can put Australia away.

Australia would need a minor miracle to win the group but a bonus point win against Wales could put them in the frame to achieve just that in Pool C.

Suggested bets:

Rees Zammit to score first try

Rees Zammit and Nawaqanitawase to both score tries

Wales winning by 6-10 points
