Australia vs Lebanon Prediction and Match Preview

• Australia has sealed two comfortable wins in their opening two World Cup qualifiers Group I outings.
• Lebanon drew their opening two qualifier fixtures and will enter this match following a 2-1 Asian Cup defeat against Tajikistan.
• Australia has kept a clean sheet in seven of their past 10 outings across all competitions and this includes two WC qualifiers.

Australia is having a good form across all competitions of late. Their only defeat in the past eight was against South Korea and that too in extra time. They have won six of those eight matches which is worth enough noting. Moving on, the opening two qualifier group stage outings will help Australia to have highest of spirits as they won 7-0 against Bangladesh and 1-0 against Palestine. They are now at the top of the Group I standings, too.

Meanwhile, Lebanon is having an unimpressive form across all competitions of late. They are on a four-match winless streak and lost three in the stretch. The team has also drawn their opening two fixtures in the qualifiers. In fact, their only win in the past eight matches was against Jordan in a friendly outing. By the looks of things, we expect a pleasant day for the local supporters on Thursday.

Recent Meetings

• This will be marked as the fourth head-to-head meeting between Australia and Lebanon.
• Australia has a 100% winning record against Kazakhstan and has scored at 3 goals apiece in both clashes.
• Their only meeting at this venue ended in a 3-0 win for the Socceroos.

Australia vs Lebanon Prediction

Australia has a stunning home form of late. They lost just twice in the past 10 home matches and the fixture they lost were against South Korea and Ecuador. Apart from that, Australia’s offensive side has been delivering exceptional performances lately at home.

On the other side, Lebanon is having a dreadful form on the road and follows a six-match winless streak. They lost six of the past eight road trips, too. In that case, Australia to win is an obvious tip here.

Do also note that Australia scored 15 goals in the past five home outings. Also, both the past clashes between these two ended in a 3-0 win for Australia. The poor offensive display of Lebanon on the road adds more to the reasons to expect a one-sided display here.
