After losing 2-1 to South Korea in the quarterfinals of AFC Asian Cup earlier this year, Australia won their last four outings in the second round of World Cup qualifiers, with an aggregate score of 14-0. In June, the Socceroos defeated Bangladesh 2-0 before ending their Group I campaign with a thumping 5-0 victory against Palestine at HBF Park. Kusini Yengi's brace and one goal each from Adam Taggart, Martin Boyle and Nestory Irankunda helped Graham Arnold's side secure all three points against Lions of Canaan.
Bahrain, on the other hand, lost 3-1 to Japan in the round of 16 stage of the AFC Asian Cup in January. After that, the Reds secured an 8-0 aggregate victory (home and away) over Nepal in Group H of the second round World Cup qualifiers. Although the Pearl Divers shared the spoils with Yemen (0-0) and United Arab Emirates (1-1) in June, they managed to finish second in the four-team table, with eight points to their name from six outings, and thereby earned a spot in the third round of World Cup qualifiers.
