Player to watch: Craig Goodwin
There’s no way we could’ve skipped on giving Goodwin a shoutout here. After all, he’s the only Aussie player that actually has a good idea of what to expect of Saudi Arabia. He’s performing in the Saudi Pro League and knows some of his opponents.
Second player to watch: Harry Souttar
It’s interesting to see Souttar as one of the top scorers for his team in the current campaign. He bagged four goals since this chase began and it will be interesting to see if the defender will be able to disprove our top Australia vs Saudi Arabia predictions.
