World Cup Asian Qualifiers: Australia VS China
Game time: 2024-10-10 17:10
Australia made a coaching change despite a poor start to the group stage. The experienced Popovich will definitely bring a new look to Australia after taking office. Australia has a strong lineup. They still recruited many players who have played for the five major players in this roster. Players, including goalkeeper Gauci, Matthew Ryan, defender Boggs, midfielder Jackson Irving, forward Ilan Kunda, etc.
However, Australia has many international players injured in this game, including defender Chikati, who plays for Parma, and midfielders Metcalf and Luongo. The control of the midfield and backcourt may be reduced. Australia, as the favorite to qualify in the group, encountered Waterloo in the group stage. After two games, it only achieved 1 draw and 1 loss. It was one point ahead of the Chinese team and ranked second from last. The qualifying situation was quite critical. Australia had a record of 3 wins and 1 loss at home in this Asian qualifier, scoring 14 goals and conceding only 1 goal. At the Oval Stadium in Adelaide, where this game was held, Australia maintained a complete victory in the past three times. !
The national football team lost a good game against Saudi Arabia in the last round. Even though they were leading by one goal and the opponent sent off one player, they were still defeated. Currently, they have lost two games in the group stage and are ranked at the bottom. The morale of the team has been greatly affected. , Australia also does not have much confidence in visiting Australia this round. This time Ivan summoned Wei Shihao, who has just returned from the ban. The latter’s current competitive status is unknown, but Ivan’s intention to play defensive counterattack in this game is very obvious. Once Wei Shihao + Fernando + Baihe Lamu can be used in the frontcourt If speed and personal ability are used to disrupt the situation, a good effect may be achieved. The national football team has only lost once in the four qualifiers against Australia, and even won one game in 2008. Facing Australia as an opponent, the national football team is at least not particularly timid mentally.
According to the historical confrontation data in the past, Australia’s victory over China was not overwhelming. The national football team’s preparation attitude after arriving in Australia was also very positive in all aspects. Although the strength gap in this game is obvious, based on combined analysis, China may not encounter this game. A disastrous defeat, expected to result in a loss of less than 2 goals.
Prediction: The national football team will lose by 2 goals or less.
