China versus Australia is a World Cup Round 8 qualifier matchup on Tuesday night at the Hangzhou Sports Park Stadium. China has performed dismally in Group C, losing five of their seven matches. They were defeated 1-0 by Saudi Arabia on Thursday, conceding a 50th-minute strike from Salem Aldawsari. China will have themselves to blame for this result after the referee sent Lin Liangming to an early shower in the first half. They must win against Australia to get their campaign on track.
Australia comes into this matchup as the betting favorite, thanks to their fine form in this competition. The Socceroos are second in the standings with 10 points, 9 points behind the runaway leaders Japan. However, they’ll be more worried about Saudi Arabia, who are just a point behind them. Australia completed a 5-1 demolition against Indonesia on Thursday, with Jackson Irvine scoring a brace. They’ll undoubtedly be fired up to pile more misery on the struggling Dragon Team.

Our China PR vs Australia Prediction
China is in trouble and they know it. Their attack has been underwhelming in this tournament, scoring just six goals while conceding 17 goals. They may struggle against the mean Australian attack, which has conceded just six goals in this competition. However, the Chinese attack has been decent in recent home assignments, scoring in six of their last seven games. The last time they defeated Australia in a competitive game was in 2013 during the East Asian Championship, winning 3-4. Overall, we’re backing Australia to win in a closely contested game. Our prediction for China vs Australia: Both teams to score.
