Saudi Arabia
LWWDWW
Saudi Arabia, who won their previous game, will hope for a similar result following the 0-2 WC Qualifiers - Asia triumph over Bahrain.
In that match, Saudi Arabia managed 46% possession and 10 shots at goal with 3 on target. For Saudi Arabia, the goals were scored by Musab Al Juwayr (16') and Abdulrahman Al Obud (78'). Bahrain had 17 attempts at goal with 2 of them on target.
Their most recent results shine a light on the fact that huge efforts have been put in by the Saudi Arabia backline. Saudi Arabia have given the opposition little, resulting in the number of goals that have gone past their goalkeeper during their previous six outings standing at 3. Despite that, we will just have to wait and see if that trend shall persist in this upcoming match.

Prediction
In our opinion, Australia will have a tough ask to break down this Saudi Arabia side who we think might well do enough to score at the other end and edge ahead.
We’re therefore seeing a 1-0 victory for Saudi Arabia when the full-time whistle blows.
There should be little in it.
