World Cup Qualifiers of Group B, game to be played in Kuwait Jaber Al Ahmad Stadium. Australia is currently ranked 1st with 12 points after 4 games, scoring 12 goals and conceding 1.

Kuwait follows in 2nd place with 10 points after 5 games and still in race to qualify despite Jordan have the same points as them.

Australian coach called up many fresh faces for the remaining games like Dennis Genreau, Dougall, McGree, Metcalfe, Duke etc.. Some experienced ones are out like Tom Rogic or Aaron Moy because coach wants to give some minutes to young players.

Coach Arnold will rely in the first game on players who arrived in camp earlier, while many of them like Nikita Rukavytsya and Adam Taggart joined late.

For Australia this is the 1st game after 18 months without playing.

Kuwait in other hand played many games during this period, including also the Gulf Cup. They have the home advantage today but mostly will play a defending game to try to avoid losing with big margin becuse of 2nd ranked teams criteria.

Coach Carrasco called the best players available but he is focused mostly in local players, with only 1 player called from outside.

Australia will probably rotate something as their qualification in this group was never in discussion but I think in current conditions Kuwait will be a difficult team to beat.

GL!

B组世界杯预选赛，比赛将在科威特贾比尔艾哈迈德体育场进行。澳大利亚目前在4场比赛后积12分排名第一，打进12球失1球。

科威特在 5 场比赛后以 10 分排名第二，尽管约旦与他们的积分相同，但仍在争夺资格。

澳大利亚教练在余下的比赛中征召了许多新面孔，如丹尼斯·根罗、杜格尔、麦格里、梅特卡夫、杜克等。一些经验丰富的球员如汤姆·罗吉奇或亚伦·莫伊缺阵，因为教练想给年轻球员一些上场时间。

阿诺德教练将在第一场比赛中依靠较早到集训营的球员，而他们中的许多人，如尼基塔·鲁卡维茨亚和亚当·塔格特都不在其中。

对于澳大利亚来说，这是18个月后的第一场比赛。

另一方面，科威特在此期间打了很多比赛，包括海湾杯。他们今天拥有主场优势，但更可能会依靠防守，避免大比分输掉比赛。排名第二名的球队相互之间要比净胜球。

主教练卡拉斯科召集了最好的球员，但他主要依靠本地球员，只有1名球员来自海外。

澳大利亚可能会轮换，因为他们在这个小组的晋级基本没有太大的悬念，但我认为在目前的情况下，科威特是很难击败的球队。

祝好运
