THE PREDICTION
Avoiding falling into the playoffs is crucial for Australia. The winner of the AFC fourth round playoff will play the fifth placed team from CONMEBOL and that could scupper their chances of qualifying for Qatar 2022. They are in a battle with Japan for the automatic spots with Saudi Arabia unbeaten at the top of the group and nearing on ensuring their path to the FIFA World Cup. Vietnam are the only team of the 12 in the third round of AFC qualification to now be unable to qualify automatically with six defeats from six so far. Given that, as well as the home advantage of playing in Melbourne, Australia will expect to win this one quite comfortably.
