Bangladesh vs Australia Prediction & Betting Tips (6 June)

The number of victories for Bangladesh between 2023 and early 2024 can be counted on the fingers of one hand given that there have been only five in the last 19 TCC matches. In these qualifications, the locals are clearly non-existent having not won a single match with two heavy defeats against Australia 7-0 and Palestine 5-0 without forgetting a setback at home against Palestine once again 0-1. The only point gleaned was when Lebanon received 1-1. In March, the selection with an extra-low record called on Sudan twice for a consequent 3-0 defeat in the wake of their 0-0 draw. Eighth finalist of the last edition of the World Cup, obviously Australia is firmly expected to return to the most prestigious competition in 2026 and why not do better by reaching a quarter-final.

For the moment, the Kangaroos are still in qualifying and they only need one point to secure their first spot in this group, well ahead of Palestine. It's very simple, over the first four days, they won all the matches without conceding a single goal and above all 15 scored. Let us nevertheless note the slight disillusionment of this selection in the Asian Cup in February with an elimination in the quarter-finals against South Korea 1-2 after extra time.

The Bangladesh group is entirely made up of players playing in the country in the different teams. To mention the experienced players, let us note the striker Hossein (4 goals in 37 caps), the midfielders Rana (65 caps) and the captain Bhuyan (83 caps) without forgetting the defenders Mia (32 caps), Barman (6 goals in 55 sels), Ghosh (41 caps), Uddin (2 goals in 32 sels) and Kazi (25 sels). Let's talk lightly about the 18-year-old crack Shekh Morsalin (4 goals in 9 appearances for the selection) who could break records for precociousness within this selection (17 goals the record). There is a change among the Australians since the usually starting goalkeeper Ryan (AZ Alkmaar, 93 caps) is not in the group as are defenders Atkinson (13 caps), Deng (4 caps), King (4 caps) and Miller (6 caps) all present in March. Finally, they are not the only ones in this case since Yazbek (1 cap), McGree (Middlesbrough) and the offensive Goodwin (6 goals in 25 caps), Borrello (2 goals in 11 caps), Fornaroli (7 caps) and Tilio (Wehen) were not invited despite their presence in March.

Boys like Leckie (14 goals in 78 caps), Duke (12 goals in 39 caps) without forgetting Boyle (8 goals in 28 caps) or those promoted to the Bundesliga with FC St. Pauli will be in the mix today: Irvine (11 goals in 68 caps) and Metcalfe (21 caps). Promoted to the PL with Leicester Souttar (11 goals in 29 seasons) will be on the trip or even a starter.
