Australia come into the Asian Cup as one of favourites having win the competition in 2015 and coach Graham Arnold said that their goal is to lift the trophy once again in Qatar. Australia is coming after several good results such as in World Cup where they lost after passing the group stage against champions Argentina.

Kangoroos have not lost to an asian opponent since 2 years now. The roster is very wide and many good replacements. Also comparing to India, Australia have more physicall conditions and can punish eaisly even through set pieces.

For this competition some players are left out like best player Hrustic, but the team in general can rely on experience and quality especially in defense and attack.

India in other hand qualified after winning all 3 group stage games.

Coach Stimac said that this tournament is a good chance for the players and staff to gain experience. The goal is World Cup 2026 qualifiers for India.

The roster is based only from local teams such as Mumbai City and Bengaluru. Coach changed many players and the team doesn't look very experienced.

I think Australia will start with an easy win their road to the title.

Probable lineups:

Australia (4-4-2):Gauci; Atkinson, Souttar, Burgess, Bos; McGree, O'Neill, Irvine, Goodwin; Duke, Boyle

India (4-5-1):Sandhu; Poojary, Jhingan, Bheke, Bose; Wangjam, Ralte; N. Singh, Samad, Chhangte; Chhteri

GL!

澳大利亚队在2015年赢得亚洲杯后成为夺冠热门之一，教练格雷厄姆·阿诺德表示，他们的目标是在卡塔尔再次举起奖杯。澳大利亚取得了一些好成绩，比如在世界杯上，他们在小组赛中输给了冠军阿根廷队。

袋鼠队已经2年没有输给过亚洲对手了。名单很广，有很多好的替补。此外，与印度相比，澳大利亚有更多的身体条件，甚至可以通过定位球轻松惩罚。

在这次比赛中，一些球员被遗漏了，比如最佳球员赫鲁西奇，但总的来说，球队可以依靠经验和质量，尤其是在防守和进攻方面。

另一方面，印度在赢得所有3场小组赛后出线。

斯蒂马克教练说，这次比赛是球员和工作人员积累经验的好机会。印度的目标是2026年世界杯预选赛。

该名单仅来自孟买和班加罗尔等当地球队。教练换了很多队员，球队看起来不太有经验。

我认为澳大利亚将以轻松的胜利开始他们的夺冠之路。

可能的阵容:

澳大利亚(4-4-2):Gauci;阿特金森，苏塔，伯吉斯，博斯;McGree, O'Neill, Irvine, Goodwin;杜克,博伊尔

印度(4-5-1):Sandhu;普贾里、吉安、比克、博斯;Wangjam Ralte;N. Singh, Samad, changte;Chhteri
