China, in Group C of the AFC World Cup qualifiers, are holding on slim hopes of automatic qualification to the 2026 showpiece. Being bottom of the group, they are set to host second placed Australia on matchday eight. Read on for our prediction of the match.
The Chinese are coming from defeat in Saudi Arabia. The 1-0 loss meant they failed to take advantage of defeats to the two nations above them.
Facing the second best side in this pool will call for a lot of improvement, especially in defence. The hosts have this far conceded 17 goals yet are winless in four straight matches against Australia.
In the first leg meeting between these nations, Australia had to claw their way from a goal down. They would go on to beat China 3-1. While they are favorites to claim second spot in this group, Australia’s journey has been far from convincing.
They suffered an embarrassing 1-0 home loss to Bahrain at the start of this round and have drawn four of the six matches thereafter.
With only two wins in seven matches, Australia have just a one point advantage ahead of third placed Saudi Arabia. They stayed second after a morale-boosting 5-1 win over Indonesia on Thursday.

Our China PR vs Australia Prediction
While Australia are having a shaky run, a match against China should be manageable for them. The Socceroos will be motivated by their massive win against Indonesia in the last round. They had a few difficult moments against China in the first meeting but after sorting issues they did well to win 3-1.
We feel Australia have what it takes to complete the double. However, we can’t back them to keep a clean sheet. Our prediction for China v Australia is for Australia to win and both teams to score.
