Australia odds: 38/25 (2.52) – 39.1%

Draw odds: 177/100 (2.77) – 30.0%

Uzbekistan odds: 11/5 (3.20) – 30.9%

As you can see, we have Australia down as the expected winners, with a 39.1% win probability ahead of the kick-off, but this certainly doesn’t mean coach Arnold’s boys will get easy three points. A draw is just as likely at 30.0% likelihood, while an Uzbekistan win is priced at 11/5 (3.20), giving the symbolic visitors a solid 30.9% chance of scooping the three points as well. However, we believe that BTTS – No is the best bet you can make on this match. Our key Australia vs Uzbekistan prediction is valued by the bookmakers at 7/10 (1.70), meaning there’s a 58.82% likelihood.

Australia vs Uzbekistan Lineups & Team News

Australia

As we mentioned earlier in our Australia vs Uzbekistan prediction, the Socceroos managed to defeat Syria 0-1. However, the highlight of Australia’s display was undoubtedly the fact that coach Arnold’s boys recorded a sixth consecutive clean sheet. Moreover, they only allowed Syria to produce one shot on target.

Predicted lineup – Ryan (GK), Behich, Burgess, Souttar, Jones, Metcalfe, O’Neill, Irvine, Bos, Duke & Boyle

Uzbekistan

After stepping awkwardly and losing points against Syria, Sergeev and his colleagues managed to thrash India 3-0, giving Uzbekistan a great chance of advancing to the next stage of the AFC Asian Cup. However, as you saw from our Australia vs Uzbekistan predictions, we believe the Socceroos will get the three points today.

Predicted lineup – Yusupov (GK), Eshmurodov, Nasrullaev, Khusanov, Sayfiev, Hamrobekov, Masharipov, Shukorov, Uronov, Fayzullaev & Sergeev

Player to Watch: Mathew Ryan

Seeing as Australia haven’t conceded goals in the last 540 minutes of soccer, we have to give some credit to goalkeeper-in-chief Mathew Ryan. The 31-year-old Plumpton-born shot-stopper has been performing at his lethal best for the Socceroos recently and we are sure that he will be more than eager to record another clean sheet against key rivals Uzbekistan. Mathew didn’t have a lot of work against Syria but he did make a crucial save that could’ve cost Australia some points.
