Syria and Australia will meet again in the AFC Asian Cup 2nd round at the Jassim Bin Hamad Stadium Stadium, Doha Thursday, January 18, 2024. Here’s the preview, h2h stats, predicted line-up, TV channel info, live streaming service providers and how to watch online.
Australia, also known as the “Team from Kangaroo Country”, has started the 2023 AFC Asian Cup with an impressive 2-0 win over India. They showed their strengths in the match, including impressive ball control and great aerial attacks. With a draw in the other match in Group B, Australia has led the group with three points.
If Australia wins this second round match, they will extend their chances of progressing to the knockout stages, perhaps even topping the group. Since joining the Asian Football Federation, Australia has always reached at least the quarter-finals of the Asian Cup. With their current strength, Australia plans to progress further in this tournament.
On the other hand, Syria felt lucky to get 1 point in a goalless draw against Uzbekistan. Syria almost completely outplayed their opponents and if not for luck, their goal might have been shaking.
Although it has passed the first challenge, Syria will face much more difficult challenges. Coach Hector Cuper and his team are currently not showing their best performance, so it is difficult for them to create a surprise.
According to Sportsmole, Australia, with their superior strength, will continue to control the ball and launch attacks. Unlike the previous match when they had to wait until the second half to score, Australia will take advantage of opportunities from the start of the match.
Syria could also create their own opportunities from quick counterattacks. They just need a bit of luck to score, as happened in their opener.
Who will win? From the latest statistics and performance, Graham Arnold’s team has a great opportunity to add 3 more points. One of the reasons, Australia has not lost in their last three meetings with Syria. Their last meeting was at the 2019 Asian Cup, where Australia won 3-2 over Syria.
