Pick 1 :

Gameday in Sydney for the round 9 between Australia & Japan.

Australia is a bit in trouble for this game because Rogic wasn't allowed to go to the NT because he got an injury on his last game, CCM defender Kye Rowles is also missing, City refused to let Curtis Good to join the team for the game against Japan. Important defender Harry Souttar is also out as he is injured since months. Important player Aaron Mooy is out because of COVID, Jackson irvine also & Riley McGree injured. Goodwin also wasn't able to join the NT as he had a contact with someone who had COVID.

Australia's coach Arnold Graham is also missing because he has COVID.

Japan will be without Hiroki Sakai & Osako as they are injured. Nakatani & Hayashi replaced them.

Australia is ranked 3 with 4 wins, 3 draws & 1 loss for 15 goals scored & 6 goals conceded.

Japan is ranked 2 with 6 wins & 2 losses for 9 goals scored & 3 goals conceded.

Very important game here especially for Australia who needs points to reduce the gap with Japan and because after this game they will face Saudi while Japan will face Vietnam where they should take 3 points.

Of course Japan will not throw this game and I rate them stronger than Australia who is too much affected by the missings, defensively they will be in trouble but also offensively.

Japan is led by a conservative coach so we should see a squad with a good experience.

The expected line up for Japan is a 4-3-3 with Gonda as GK. Yamane-Yoshida-Taniguchi-Nagatomo for the defense. Midfield with Endo-Tanaka-Morita. Offense with Ito-Minamino-Kubo

I expect 1-1 or 1-2.

Pick 2 :

Gameday in Riyadh for the round 9 between Iraq & UAE.

Game was supposed to be played for the first time in Baghdad since 2003 but because of war problem game is at neutral location in Saudi Arabia so there is no home advantage and UAE might get more support than Iraq as there is a good relationship with both countries.

Iraq will be without Fahad Talib & Saad Natiq.

UAE is without Ali Khasif.

UAE is ranked 3 with 2 wins, 3 draws & 3 losses for 6 goals scored & 6 goals conceded.

I really like this spot here where I rate UAE much stronger, the team is doing great in this WC Qual, they were really close to make a positive result against Iran where they played well.

UAE changed their coach and now they are led by Rodolfo Arruabarrena and this is a very good choice, too much bad things with the others coach who were not looking knowing well the UAE players. He coached Al Ahli Dubai & Al Wasl so he has a very good knowledge about his players, he made a good roster for the last games.

In front we have Ali Mabkhout who is back in the team.

Iraq will have to play a bit offensively as it's their last hope and they are not used to play offensively, they have problems defensively and for sure they will be affected if they let space to UAE.

I expect 0-0 or 0-1.

选择1:

澳大利亚和日本之间的第9轮在悉尼的比赛日。

澳大利亚队在这场比赛中遇到了一些麻烦，因为罗基奇在上一场比赛中因伤不能去NT, CCM队的后卫凯·罗尔斯也缺席了，曼城队拒绝让柯蒂斯·古德参加对日本的比赛。重要的后卫哈里·索塔也因伤缺阵数月。重要球员穆伊因新冠肺炎而缺阵，欧文和麦格雷瑞也受伤了。古德温也未能加入NT，因为他接触到一位感染了新冠病毒的人。

澳大利亚教练阿诺德·格雷厄姆也因感染新冠肺炎而失踪。

日本将失去酒井弘树和大坂弘树，因为他们受伤了。Nakatani & Hayashi取代了他们。

澳大利亚4胜3平1负，进15球丢6球，排名第三。

日本队以6胜2负、进9球失3球排名第二。

这是一场非常重要的比赛，特别是对澳大利亚来说，他们需要积分来缩小与日本的差距，因为在这场比赛后，他们将面对沙特，而日本将面对越南，他们应该拿到3分。

当然，日本不会输掉这场比赛，而且我认为他们比澳大利亚更强，澳大利亚受到了太多的失误的影响，他们在防守上会有麻烦，但在进攻上也会有麻烦。

日本队是由一个保守的教练领导的，所以我们应该看到一支经验丰富的球队。

日本队的预期阵容是4-3-3阵型，冈达担任守门员。山田吉田谷口永富为辩护人。与Endo-Tanaka-Morita中场。进攻与Ito-Minamino-Kubo

我估计是1-1或1-2。

选择2:

伊拉克和阿联酋之间的第9轮在利雅得的比赛日。

游戏自2003年以来第一次在巴格达进行，但由于战争问题游戏是在沙特阿拉伯的中立地点，所以没有主场优势，阿联酋可能比伊拉克得到更多的支持，因为两国关系都很好。

伊拉克将失去法哈德·塔利班和萨阿德·纳提克。

阿联酋没有阿里·哈西夫。

阿联酋以2胜3平3负，进6球失6球排名第三。

我真的很喜欢这个位置，我认为阿联酋更强，这支球队在本届世界杯预选赛中表现很好，他们真的很可能在对阵伊朗时取得一个积极的结果。

阿联酋更换了他们的教练，现在他们是由鲁道夫·阿鲁阿巴雷纳领导的，这是一个非常好的选择，其他教练有太多不好的事情，他们看起来不太了解阿联酋的球员。他是Al Ahli Dubai和Al Wasl的教练，所以他对他的球员有很好的了解，他为最后的比赛做了一个很好的名单。

在前面我们有阿里·马布霍特，他回到了球队。

伊拉克将不得不打一些进攻，因为这是他们最后的希望，他们不习惯打进攻，他们在防守上有问题，如果他们把空间让给阿联酋，他们肯定会受到影响。

应该是0-0或0-1。
