Australia vs Curacao prediction
Australia, with Tony Popovic at the helm, began preparations for the 2026 FIFA World Cup with a 1-0 defeat of Cameroon the other day, courtesy of an 85th minute Jordan Bos winner.
Curacao became the smallest country to qualify for the FIFA World Cup in November but, since then, they have lost manager Dick Advocaat due to personal reasons and also suffered a 2-0 defeat to China.
Curacao have some things to work on ahead of this summer and a low-scoring Australia victory is still to be expected for this one down in Oceania.
