Australia’s emphasis will now move onto the second of their group B encounter, which is expected to take place against Syria at Jassim bin Hamad Stadium.
Australia have been in great shape and are playing some fantastic football, as proven by their five consecutive victories, including a 2-0 victory over India on their opening matchday, to get them straight to the top of the table.
The Socceroos have also been scoring goals at a good clip in recent months, with 14 goals coming in just the last five league matches.
Graham Arnold’s team would now have a chance to secure their place in the knockout rounds with a victory here.
Their opponents, Syria, demonstrated defensive resilience by holding Uzbekistan to a 0-0 stalemate in their opening encounter, although they were toothless going forward throughout the encounter.
Hector Cuper’s sides also did not enter the competition in the best of shape and have now gone winless in their previous four matches, while they have also only won twice since March 2023, with one of them also coming against 116-ranked North Korea.
The last match between these two was in January 2019, when Australia won 3-2, giving them an unbeaten record in all three games between the two sides.
Given the current form disparity between the two teams, Australia are favoured by the bookmakers, and it appears like a wise choice to back the Socceroos. Thus, our main bet is on Australia to win to nil at 1.80 odds here. Given that Australia holds a strong defensive record, having preserved clean sheets in each of their past five matches.
Additionally, we would also pick Australia to win this match with a -1.5 Asian handicap at 2.04 odds. While brave punters can also wager on the game to conclude with a 2-0 final score in favour of Australia at 4.20 odds given three of the last five matches for Australia have ended with this scoreline.
