Australia to Win
Despite the fact that the last ten games statistics show that the UAE has a 50% chance to win and Australia 40%, the bookies are favoring Australia to win.
Under 2.5/3 Total Goals
Australia’s seven of their last ten World Cup qualifying matches ended with three or fewer goals. Meanwhile, all ten UAE fixtures in the final phase of the World Cup qualifications ended with three or fewer goals.
Highest Scoring Half Second Half
In the United Arab Emirates’ ten matches in the final phase of the WCQs, there were more goals in the second half in five of them. While. In Australia’s matches, the same trend happened in six of their ten matches.
In pursuing their first World Cup finals appearance since 1990, the United Arab Emirates have taken their biggest stride towards a place at football’s showpiece event in two decades. Notably, the UAE reached the AFC playoff for the first time since 2001 when they lost to Iran, they will face Australia in a single leg showdown in Doha.
In their third World Cup Qualification (WCQ) match under new manager Rodolfo Arruabarrena, the UAE will be determined to build upon consecutive Asian Cup semi-final appearances (2015 & 2019). Moreover, underdogs here, the UAE have already caused one upset under Arruabarrena’s stewardship, defeating South Korea 1-0 at home to advance to this round. The UAE’s shock defeat of Australia in the 2019 Asian Cup quarter-finals (1-0) should also serve as additional inspiration.
Australia are no strangers to this qualification path, having entered five intercontinental playoffs since 1990, most recently conquering Syria and Honduras to reach the 2018 World Cup. The Socceroos have also developed an intimate familiarity with the uncomfortable conditions presented by Doha’s climate.
To point out, Australian COVID restrictions meant two-thirds of their matches since 2021 took place in the Middle East.
With the Australian squad already assembled in Doha, the withdrawal of attacking midfielder Tom Rogic, who cited personal reasons for his departure, serves as a blow. His presence was sorely missed in their previous international when manager Graham Arnold deployed an unfamiliar 4-4-2 formation in WCQ losses to Japan (0-2) and Saudi Arabia (0-1).
The Socceroos look the better side on paper with much more experience in their players who play in top European teams. Moreover, the Aussies are used to this kind of game and that is why they are favorites to win this game.
