Australia vs Syria Match Preview
Australia is the clear favorite to earn a ticket to Russia as the Oceanic side has qualified for the World Cup since 2006. Ange Postecoglou also counts with a much more experienced side than his opponent, featuring players from the German Bundesliga, the English Premier League and the English Football League Championship among other top quality leagues.
Robbie Kruse of German club VFL Bochum scored the lone goal for The Socceroos in the first-leg of this matchup and should be another key player to watch in this game. The home-field advantage should also prove to be a tremendous deciding factor in this game that should propel Australia to the victory.
Syria has been a very surprising team in this AFC region still hoping to get into the 2018 FIFA World Cup. The Qasioun Eagles squad is mostly comprised of players that play around leagues in the Middle East but still have some high-quality players on its squad.
The lone scorer for Syria in the first-leg of this playoff series was Omar Al Soma, who has been a consistent goalscorer in the Saudi Professional League for several years now. The match should be a tremendous clash between two talented sides, who want to earn a place in the next World Cup and this should produce an intense encounter filled with excitement.
