Top 2 Picks for Australia vs China

1. Easy-Peasy for Australia

Yes, Australia began the third round of the WCQ on the wrong foot but the Socceroos put up a good fight in both matches, losing 1-0 to Bahrain and drawing 0-0 in their visit to Indonesia.

Right now, Australia’s main concern is to find a replacement for Yengi, who’s the team’s top scorer with four goals. The good news is that there are several candidates, including Joshua Nisbet, Adam Taggart, Awer Mabil, and Mitchell Duke.

More good news because the Socceroos have been considerably better when playing at home. Before unexpectedly losing to Bahrain, they won three straight games with a 14-0 aggregate. Goalkeeper Matt Ryan, who also plays for AS Roma in the Italian Serie A, is one of the best keepers in the region. Have no doubt that he’s one of the main reasons for Australia to be the online betting favorite.

There’s also the fact that China conceded nine goals in its first two games. The Dragons lost 7-0 to Japan and 2-1 to Saudi Arabia. Including those matches, the Dragons have four straight games without winning.

Finally, they’ve conceded at least one goal for seven consecutive matches. In other words, the defensive unit needs to improve considerably. Regardless of the price fluctuation, make sure to include Australia in your soccer parlay picks.

Bet This Pick: Australia to Win (-900)

 

2. Bet on a High-Scoring Affair

Besides the fact that both teams are in a must-win situation, which means both must go all-in right from the start, we can’t ignore that Australia scored in seven of its last 10 home games in the WCQ.

As if that weren’t enough, the Socceroos scored two or more goals in seven of those matches. That includes the last time they played host to China, which finished 3-0. Mabil and Duke, who still play for the national team, scored in that match.

Regarding China, the Dragons conceded in their last nine road games in the WCQ. They allowed two or more goals in seven of those matches. On the other hand, the Dragons scored in four of those matches. And let’s not forget that Wu Lei is one of the qualifiers’ top scorers with five goals. He’s a historic player for China who always gives his best.

China will contribute for the game total to go over but it won’t be enough to pull off the stunner. I like Australia to win 3-1.

Bet this Pick: Game Total Over 2½, 3 Goals (-129)

My last recommendation is to check the latest soccer news before placing your WCQ bets!
