While the hosts came through their previous group with a 100% record, the visitors had to make do with a runners-up spot.

Having lost out in the Asian Cup quarter-finals at the start of the year, there was renewed motivation within the Australia ranks to get back on track in their World Cup qualifiers.

Two wins had already been posted before they made light work of their remaining four matches, scoring a further 14 goals and keeping four more clean sheets.

Graham Arnold’s side are now on a run of just one defeat in 13 matches, that loss to South Korea in the Asian Cup also coming in extra time.

While the level of opposition will step up in the third round of World Cup qualifying, confidence is high in the camp ahead of attempting to make a positive start.

On the other hand, Bahrain will be pleased to have built on their encouraging Asian Cup by reaching this round of the qualifying campaign.

Dragan Talajic’s side beat eventual finalists Jordan in that competition before losing to Japan in the last 16, and that run has been backed up with a four-game unbeaten streak.

After routine wins over Nepal, a goalless draw with Yemen secured a top-two spot before they recorded a 1-1 stalemate against group winners the United Arab Emirates.

Given the Asian powerhouses – including Japan and Saudi Arabia – in their group, further progression in unlikely, but Talajic will be eager to see how his squad can cope in matches of this magnitude.

Australia Team News

Star names such as Mathew Ryan, Harry Souttar and Jackson Irvine should all take their spots in the side, with Adan Taggart in line to lead the attack.

With Nathaniel Atkinson not part of the Australian squad, Lewis Miller could get the not at right-back.

Bahrain Team News

Barring any injury issues, Talajic may be prepared to select the Bahrain side that started the stalemate in the United Arab Emirates.

Despite conceding a 10th-minute equaliser, Bahrain were able to hold out for a share of the spoils, their goal coming from Mahdi Abduljabbar who scored his 10th strike for his country.
