On October 9, the Chinese national team will face Australia away in the World Cup Qualifiers at 17:10 tomorrow. The official website of the AFC has also made predictions for this match, stating that Popovic is expected to secure his first victory as the new coach of Australia.
The official AFC article reads: “In the first round of the 18-team qualifier, Australia suffered a shocking 0-1 home loss to Bahrain and then was held to a draw by Indonesia away. Long-time Australian head coach Arnold stepped down, and Popovic will make his debut in charge. The last time Australia lost to China was back in 2013, and since then, Australia has recorded two wins and one draw against China.”
In analyzing China’s performance, it states: “China’s start in the 18-team qualifier has been disappointing. After a 0-7 defeat to Japan in their opening match, they lost 1-2 at home to Saudi Arabia, who played with 10 men for over 70 minutes. China now sits at the bottom of Group C. Therefore, Popovic’s team is highly likely to secure all three points against China.”
