Qatar vs Australia prediction
Linked with a return to La Liga, Julen Lopetegui remains in charge of Qatar after a poor FIFA World Cup 2026 campaign. They were eliminated at the semi-final stage of last month’s AFC Arabian Gulf Cup by eventual winners Saudi Arabia last month.
Tony Popovic and his exciting, young and emerging Australia squad reached the knockout stages of the FIFA World Cup and The Socceroos were competitive against five-time world champions Brazil last month, with a 1-1 draw and then a 4-2 defeat to the Selecao ‘down under’.
The Australians have won three, drawn four and lost three of their ten matches inside 90 minutes in 2026 and they will seek to finish an encouraging calendar year by at least avoiding defeat in Qatar here.
Qatar vs Australia tip: Double chance – Australia to win or draw & under 3.5 goals
