Australia vs India prediction and betting tips on January 13, 2024
Asian Cup
There will be quite a lot of football this weekend. Moreover, national teams are also joining clubs. Teams have gathered in Qatar for the Asian Cup. The representatives of Australia and India will be among the first to play. The analysts of the website have made a prediction for this match on January 13, 2024.
Australia is rightfully considered one of the strongest teams in the region
“The Socceroos” started in their native Oceania, and even made their debut at the World Cup as the representative of this conference. Still, it, realizing that there is no and will not be any clear competition, eventually moved “to the north”, to Asia. And, the team, on the third attempt, won the Continental Cup there (by the way, it was the host there). It was not possible to repeat the success, limiting itself to the quarter-finals in 2019. At the same time, the Australians continued to consistently qualify for the World Championships. And here, in Qatar, they even made it to the 1/8 stage in 2022. This time, there is also a good squad, especially taking into account the performance of Luongo and Mooy. At the same time, there are currently no representatives from top championships; even young Mohamed Toure from PSG and experienced Hrustic from Verona are not in the squad.
India qualified for the second tournament in a row
“The Blue Tigers” were not bad except in the middle of the previous century. Still, they, due to unsportsmanlike reasons, did not go to the World Championships in 1950 and 1954. As a result, the maximum remained 4th place at the Olympic Games 1956 and 2nd place at the Asian Cup 1964. However, then there were only 3 appearances at this tournament, including in 2019. So, the Indians, at least for the first time, will play at the continental championship twice in a row. It is reasonable to mention that few people know these footballers, because they all play in their homeland. And even the captain, Sunil Chhetri, was limited to short-lived appearances in Kansas City Wizards and the double of Sporting Lisbon during his long career.
Previous head-to-head matches
The opponents played at the Asian Cup level in 2011. Then the Australians won with a 4-0 score.
