Match Stats

Syria:

For the third time in this century, Syria managed to avoid defeat in their inaugural Asian Cup group-stage fixture, preserving a clean sheet for the second consecutive opening match of the tournament.Known for his tactical prowess, Hector Cuper's team demonstrated remarkable organization against Uzbekistan, limiting them to just two shots on target despite holding only 34% possession.Although they maintain an unbeaten record in the three matches played this year, it's noteworthy that Syria has secured victory in only one Asian Cup encounter in the 21st century, notably upsetting Saudi Arabia with a 2-1 win in their opening match in 2011.


Australia:

Australia has emerged victorious in their last three Asian Cup group-stage fixtures, managing to score multiple goals in each of these triumphs.A win, along with a draw or victory for India on matchday two, would secure Australia a spot in the knockout stage for the fifth consecutive time.Furthermore, if Australia secures a win along with a draw between Uzbekistan and India, it would result in the Socceroos winning their group, a feat they haven't achieved since 2011.It's worth noting that Australia has faced challenges in this tournament, having lost their last three matches when conceding the opening goal, without managing to mount a comeback in any of those instances.


Analysis:

While Syria can be adept at causing frustration for their opponents, they still lack some offensive quality, a factor that has frequently determined the outcome of their matches, swinging between victory and defeat.Australia, while not boasting the same level of individual quality seen in previous Asian Cups, has established a foundation of solid continuity. The team consistently manages to navigate past defensively-oriented opponents, showcasing an ability to do what's necessary to secure positive results.
