Lebanon vs Australia Prediction & Match Preview

• Australia had a satisfactory campaign in the recently concluded AFC Asian Cup. They managed to reach the quarter-final round after defeating India, Syria, and Indonesia.
• Lebanon are third in Group I as they lost two matches against Australia and Tajikistan.
• In the previous meeting, Lebanon lost by conceding two goals. They were aware of Australia’s attacking prowess and went for a 5-4-1 formation, yet they lost by 2-0.

Under the guidance of manager Graham Arnold, Australia have made decent progress. He has inculcated a more possession-based and attacking style of play. Their recent achievements include qualifying for the FIFA World Cup 2022. They even reached the round of 16 which is no joke.

Lebanon are yet to win an international game since the beginning of this year. Friendly matches are their stronghold. Our analysis shows that their last major international victory was against India in the King’s Cup which was in September 2023.

Recent Meetings

The head-to-head record between Lebanon and Australia is one-sided. Over the last ten years, these two teams have faced each other on three occasions, with Australia winning on all three occasions. Two of the previous three encounters were friendly matches. Even in friendly games Lebanon could not score a single goal.

Lebanon vs Australia Prediction

Lebanon have been in poor form leading up to this match. They lost two games and scored just one goal. Our analysis shows that they have won only two international matches in the last six months. Even in the AFC Asian Cup, they made an exit from the group stage.

Australia, on the other hand, have shown consistency in their recent outings. Despite facing high-ranked opponents, they play as a unit. In all competitions, Lebanon lost four of their last five outings. The only positive result was against China in the AFC Asian Cup.

Australia are one of the best teams in the eastern hemisphere. They are at the top of the table in Group I with a perfect winning record. We see Australia winning both halves of this game at the 1.95 odds.

Lebanon did not score a single goal when they faced Australia, China and Qatar. They have a poor squad and lack strikers. This was evident in their AFC Asian Cup matches. On the contrary, Australia have the best GF record in Group I. Therefore, Over 2.5 goals at the 1.78 odds is the perfect option to take from this match.
