The Australian team, which ranks fourth in Asia, may not have imagined that there is a necessary condition in the conditions for them to qualify for the World Cup, that is, the national football team must upset the Saudi team. If the national team draws with Saudi Arabia, then Australia will need two consecutive wins to qualify for the World Cup. If the national football team beats the Saudi team, then the Australian team only needs to score 4 points to qualify for the World Cup. If the national football team loses to the Saudi team, the Saudi team advances to advance, and the Australian team has little hope of qualifying for the World Cup.
The Australian team qualified and needed the help of the national football team
Judging from the points situation of Group B, this match between the Saudi team and the national football team will directly determine the fate of the Saudi team and the Australian team! In this round of competition, if the Saudi team defeats the national football team, then the Saudi team's points will reach 22 points, an early round of promotion! In the last two rounds of the game, australia can only score 21 points even if it has won two consecutive games.
Since the last round of the Japanese team was played at home against Vietnam, the probability of Japan scoring 3 points was very high. Even if they need to win the goal difference, they can brush it from Vietnam's body. Therefore, the Australian team advanced to the fierce and less auspicious!
If the national football team beats saudi Arabia, then Australia can qualify for the World Cup with 4 points. This round of matches forced a draw with Japan + defeated Saudi Arabia in the final round. In this way, Australia's 19 points will be tied to Japan with a goal difference advantage.
If the national football team explodes the Cold War to draw the Saudi team, then the Australian team will need to win 2 consecutive games. Defeated Japan in this round, the points reached 18 points, and moved to the second place. In the final round, he defeated Saudi Arabia and scored 21 points to advance to the World Cup with Japan.
The Australian team may only be able to finish in third place
Judging from the conditions for the Australian team to qualify, their biggest uncertainty is the match between the national football team and the Saudi team. Once Saudi Arabia wins, the Saudi team advances one round ahead of schedule. With one place remaining, they certainly can't compete with the Japanese team. The biggest advantage of the Japanese team is that they played against Vietnam in the last round. Therefore, the Australian team will most likely finish third. Then compete with the third place in Group A for 0.5 seats. In this case, it is almost impossible to qualify for the World Cup.
The reason why the Australian team has the current situation is because they have too many draws, including being forced to draw by the national football team and Oman, and the 4 points lost in these 2 games are too deadly for them.
