The Syrians have not been broken across seven clashes in a row covering two triumphs and five draws. It’s worth saying that the side traditionally gains the favourable result in the end of a fight. The team promoted to the Fourth qualification round due to 2:2 draw against Iran, having scored the decisive goal on the 93rd minute of the match. Syria escaped from a defeat in the first-leg battle against Australia in face of its fans, having scored a goal on the 85th minute. The Syrians participated in five clashed on the road in 2017, having got a single victory, three draws and one loss in them. The team’s unbeaten run at away grounds makes up four clashes.
The upcoming fight will decide which side will promote to the 2018 World Cup final stage. Both teams deserve performing there, however, the hosting side looks better plus it will play in front of its fans without mentioning that it was closer to a triumph in the first-leg game on the road, therefore, it must prove its advantage in Sydney.
Prediction for the match: Australia to win with -1.0 Asian handicap.
