What to expect
We expect about 0.9 goals from Qatar and 1.8 from Australia, so Australia come out ahead by a clear distance rather than a nose. Put together, that is around 2.8 goals in the game, which is an ordinary sort of total.
Qatar come into this on two straight draws. Recent results are only ever part of the story, but they are worth knowing before kick-off.
Our pick: Australia to win. Australia shade this one on the numbers (xG 0.9-1.8), and we make them about 67% to win. They look the better bet on the road, and backing them outright is the straightforward way in.
We put the chance of that landing at about 65 out of 100. The price on offer is 2.20, which works out at about 45 out of 100. That gap is the whole reason this is on the site: we rate it more likely than the price does, and the price looks good to us because of it.
