In the first round of the World Cup qualification tournament, a match between the national teams of Australia and Bangladesh will take place in Melbourne on Thursday, November 16. The game is scheduled to kick off at 10:00 Central European Time.
Australia:
Australia prepared for the start of the World Cup 2026 qualification through friendly matches. The Australians performed decently against serious opponents but suffered losses in matches against England and Argentina. On the positive side, they secured a draw against Mexico and a victory over New Zealand. In the qualification group, Australia will compete with the national teams of Lebanon, Palestine, and Bangladesh, where they are unquestionable favorites.
Bangladesh:
Bangladesh is a modest team by Asian standards. The team is not aiming for qualification to the World Cup but may pose problems for more renowned teams. In October, in the first preliminary stage of qualification, Bangladesh overcame the Maldives Islands in a two-match confrontation. However, it is unlikely they can expect to advance from their qualification group.
Interesting facts about the match and the history of head-to-head meetings:
- Australia has won only twice in the last seven matches.
- Bangladesh has not suffered a defeat in seven consecutive games, but the opponents were not the strongest.
- Australia confidently won both previous meetings in 2015.
Prediction:
There is no doubt that the hosts will win convincingly. However, I believe it will be limited to no more than 6 goals.
