Syria vs Australia Prediction & Betting tips
Thursday afternoon, Syria and Australia compete in the league match of the playoffs for the very last World Cup World Cup squad in the Asian World Cup qualifying zone. Australia is obviously a favorite, but the war-torn Syria could use a frog.
Syria :
It may be a wonder that the national team of Syria has reached the playoffs of the Asian World Cup qualifying zone. The country has never been so close to participation in a World Cup final. In a group with China, Uzbekistan, Qatar, Iran and South Korea, a top three-rating appeared to be a utopia, as the red shirts, due to the problems in their own country, seemed to play their home games over 6000 kilometers in Malaysia. The brave Syrians, however, stood still and knew in the last round of play on their visit to Iran, thanks to a match on the ball, yet to seize third place in group A. The Qasioun Eagles give the country a lot of hope, even if it is absolutely not so that the national team brings all Syrians closer together. Many in the crew of coach Ayman Al Hakeem see nothing more than a propaganda of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.
Also the home match against Australia will be played again at the Hang Jebat Stadium in Malaysian Melakka. It is hardly a question of home advantage, although Syria does make it very deserving of its temporary accommodation. The country does not lose any home match. Coach coach Ayman Al Hakeem is not too bad to adjust his system to the opponent and left his team in the last five international 4-4-2, 4-2-3-1, 4-1-4-1 and 4 -5-1 play. Syria usually keeps a lot of people behind the ball and tries to keep the spaces small, but it’s life-threatening on the counter. Virtually all players are still active in their own country or in neighboring desert countries such as Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, etc. The only exception is defender Gabriel Somi, who recently fought with the Swedish Ă–stersund in the Europa League by both Galatasaray and Hertha BSC to defeat. He knows, like no other, that you’re never gonna be a chance.
Australia :
Unlike Syria Australia will claim that it does play-offs at all to achieve World Cup qualification. The Socceroos were in the last three World Cup finals and went for direct World Cup qualifiers, but partly because of untidy matches against Thailand and Iraq, they had to take pleasure in third place behind Japan and Saudi Arabia of former coach Bert van Marwijk.
Australia, which in 2006 exchanged the Oceania Football Confederation (OFC) for the Asian Football Confederation (AFC), fails for Asian concepts of talent. With players like Matthew Leckie (Hertha BSC), Aaron Mooy (Huddersfield Town), Brad Smith (Bournemouth), Matthew Ryan (Brighton) and Tom Rogic (Celtic), engaging coach Ange Postecoglou has a number of players from European top competitions. Big Vedette, however, is still “good old” Tim Cahill. The 37-year-old attacker returned to his native country last year and signed at Melbourne City.
Despite the fact that Australia lost this World Cup qualifier only a match, Postecoglou is under fire. Not only was third place a huge disappointment, too, his tactics frustrated quite a few Australian eyebrows. Postecoglou has declared his 3-2-4-1 formation holy, but with this arrangement, the country has been very vulnerable in particular to the flanks.
