Australia hosts Oman in round 3 of the third stage of the World Cup qualification. The match will be played on Thursday, October 7th at Bankwest Stadium (Sydney)
Australia traditionally remains a big force in Asian football. In the current qualification, bookmakers sometimes do not really believe in Australians and give high coefficient on their victory. But Graham Arnold's team does not give any reason to doubt it. The Australians have played 10 matches in the current qualification (eight games in the first stage and two games in the second stage) and gained ten victories with a goal difference of 32-2! Well, what else needs to be said after that? The national team of Australia is one of the strongest in the Asian zone, and there is no doubt that it will go to Qatar for the World Cup. Well, the upcoming game against Oman will be the most ordinary match for the hosts. The Australians have beaten Oman more than once in their history, and they will beat it again.

Oman was able to really please its fans in the current qualification. The Reds managed to beat the Japanese in the first round (0-1). Yes, this result is definitely worthy of respect, and it gives reasons for a different look at the Omani national team. But in the second round, they lost to Saudi Arabia, and the points gained with the Japanese are no longer so valuable. Instead of taking the leading position of the group, now Oman modestly occupies 4th place out of six. Oman is definitely not the weakest Asian team, but it still cannot take a step towards the top teams of the continent. If you look at the history of Oman's matches over the past 3-4 years, there is a clear tendency of games against the opponents of a slightly more serious level. The Reds usually lose to the grandees of Asian football. A victory over the Japanese turned out to be an exception to the rule, and the next such miracle performed by Oman is unlikely to happen soon.
Australia and Oman are teams of different levels, and the favorite of the upcoming game is obvious! The coefficient on the victory of the Australians is quite good, and it’s worth taking advantage of this. Australia is the favorite, and it will probably be able to confirm its status in the upcoming game.
Prediction for the match: Australia to win
