The last 2 rounds of the Asian Round of 12 are left. At present, the qualifying situation in Group A is only the suspense of the third place; while the qualifying situation of B is still more complicated, especially the 2 teams that directly qualify, the current Japanese team, Australia and Saudi Arabia, these three teams have the opportunity to compete for direct qualification. Among them, the Australian team's qualifying situation is the most dangerous. The national football team will affect the exit situation of the Saudi team.
Australia continued to break the cold in this round of matches, their match with Oman, in the case of a 1-0 lead, was tragically tied by Oman 2-2 in the last minute, and the final goal was still a penalty, which was very controversial. The 2 points lost in this game were very fatal for the Australian team! They are likely to be jointly played by Saudi Arabia and Japan, which depends on whether they can get two consecutive wins.
The two remaining opponents of the Australian team are Japan and Saudi Arabia, both of which are very strong and points ahead of them. If both Japan and Saudi Arabia play in Australia with a draw mentality, there is no doubt that they will not be able to directly qualify for the qualifying position anyway, but will have to play the play-offs. Asian teams to play the play-offs, basically equivalent to missing the World Cup.
Therefore, for The Australian team, the only goal to directly qualify for the World Cup is to get 6 points in the next 2 games. In this way, their points can reach 21 points, directly out of the line, and there is a little hope.
In addition, Saudi Arabia, which is at the top of the list, actually has the risk of being out. They currently need to win at least one more game to be sure they're safe. This game is a match against the national football team. In the next round of matches, the national football team plays at home against Saudi Arabia, if the national football team upsets the draw or defeats Saudi Arabia, there is no doubt that the Saudi team's qualifying situation will be very bad. Of course, with the strength of the national football team, I don't know if I can stop the Saudi team?
Japan's last opponent is Vietnam, Australia and Saudi Arabia in the last round of the match direct PK, for the Japanese team, their points can be guaranteed at least 21 points, and on the Vietnam team can brush the goal difference as much as possible, so they locked a qualifying place is no longer a problem. The only suspense is whether they and Saudi Arabia can join forces to send Australia to play in the play-offs.
