Australia and India will meet again in the AFC Asian Cup 1st round at the Ahmad bin Ali Stadium Stadium, Al-Rayyan Saturday, January 13, 2024. Here’s the preview, h2h stats, predicted line-up, TV channel info, live streaming service providers and how to watch online.
Australia, who have put up a strong performance in 2023, will begin their run in the 2024 Asian Cup by playing India. With big wins over Bangladesh and Palestine in the World Cup qualifiers, Australia have shown that they are one of the best performing teams in Asia at the moment.
The Australian team, led by Graham Arnold, is known for their aggressive and scientific play. They have shown their strength and class, and are considered one of the strong candidates for the championship. This match against India is expected to be the perfect first step for the team from Kangaroo country on their journey to the top.
On the other hand, India entered this Asian Cup without significant preparation. The Indian team, led by Igor Stimac, last played at the end of November 2023. In their last meeting, India lost to hosts Qatar with a score of 0-3 in the Asian zone 2026 World Cup qualifying match.
India, considered the “underdogs” in this match, have won only 1 of their last 5 matches. The team from the country of Bollywood lost to Iraq, Lebanon, Malaysia and finally Qatar. They will face a big challenge in the match against Australia, a team that has a significant advantage in terms of skills and experience.
In the previous meeting between the two teams, Australia achieved a big win. The duel in 2011 ended with a score of 0-4 in the same competition. Australia’s four goals were scored by Cahill (2 goals), Kewell, Holman.
It is clear from history and recent form that India, who have been on a downward trend in recent times, will have a hard time facing Australia in B. However, even though Australia is considered the favorite to win this match, India will definitely try hard to spring a surprise.
