LiontipsChina vs Australia. Predictions and Betting Tips for 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifier
Command Analysis
China national team still has a chance to earn the 3rd spot in the Group B at the conclusion of the qualification tournament, but so far team is not looking great. Li Tie's men collected only four points in five matches and are now only at the 5th spot in the standings, five points adrift from the third-placed Japan. In the previous match Chinese team split the points with Oman (1:1) in a home match.
Australia failed to find a victory in two most recent matches and got only one point. An away defeat to Japan (1:2) and a draw against Saudi Arabia (0:0) left Graham Arnold's men without the top spot, now they are three points adrift from the leader. Team has never lost to China on away matches, so it is a great opportunity to catch up to Saudi Arabia.

Tip and bets
Aussies lost their position and will try to get back to the fight for the top spot in this match. Socceroos are way stronger than their opponents, so they will play for a victory today. They have a number skilled players, so they are unlikely to leave the pitch scoreless.
China is not looking competitive in the third stage of the World Cup qualification and has only a slim chance to fight for the spot at Mundial. We think that visitors will play aggressively since the first minutes and won't let their opponents to breeze until the final whistle, so they should be able to get the confident victory.
Our prediction - Asian handicap (-1) on Australia
Most recent head-to-head matches between these opponents are usually high-scoring. China will try to fight against one of the best Asian teams, because they have nothing to lose. Australia usually creates many goal opportunities, so we are expecting a high-scoring game.
Our second bet is on total over 2.5 goals
