The Socceroos take on Saudi Arabia in their most important World Cup qualifier to date in Melbourne.
Tony Popovic has had a positive start to his reign as Australia boss, winning 3-1 over China before gaining a more than credible point against Japan in Saitama.
These results, combined with the poor form of Saudi Arabia, means the Socceroos are back in contention to qualify automatically for the World Cup, but know this match against the Saudis is pivotal to those dreams becoming a reality.
The poor form from the Gulf nation saw Roberto Mancini sacked, with his replacement being the man who led them to victory over Argentina at the 2022 World Cup, Herve Renard.
