Australia’s charge in the 2022 World Cup qualifiers in Asia is going well, and seems unstoppable after their 3-0 win over Kuwait on Match Day 5. The win saw the Socceroos open up a five-point gap at the summit of Group B ahead of their match against Chinese Taipei who are bottom without a point. Due to covid-19 restrictions, Australia will once again have to host this game in Kuwait, as was the case for the Kuwait game. If in their game against Kuwait, Australia had a gap in quality, here there’s a gulf in the same. Australia showed no signs of having not played together for close to two years as they unsettled Kuwait early, before being slowed by the heat in Kuwait in the second half. They still managed to register a seventh win in 10 matches. In their last five matches, all in Group B, Australia have won, and scored three or more goals in four. The only goal Australia have conceded in the five matches was scored by Chinese Taipei, a consolation in a 7-1 thumping back in October 2019.

Chinese Taipei’s World Cup qualification campaign resumed with a 2-0 loss to Nepal, making it three straight matches they have failed to score, after their goal against Australia. They have lost all their six matches so far in this group. Their only win in the last 11 matches was against Hong Kong in a friendly. The 2-0 win there is also the only time they’ve kept a clean sheet in their last nine matches and they’ve been conceding quite heavily. In each of their last six matches, they have conceded two or more goals. In their six matches in this group, Chinese Taipei have conceded 27 goals and scored just two.
