Australia are a usual presence in the World Cup, and they are one of the best teams in the AFC. They are in stupendous form lately, and also have a better h2h record against China in recent times – who are struggling away from home at the moment. Likely, expect an Australian win this Thursday.
They are ranked 35th in the world, while their opposite number are 71st in the same list. Moreover, Australia were the champions of Group B in the second round of Qualifiers, and in the process they had a 100% winning record. They had scored 28 goals through these eight match-ups, and had conceded just two in return.
In the meantime, the Chinese had finished second in Group A, and had remained winless in two of their total four road match-ups.
