The second Round of 16 game for the day sees defending champions Australia who have looked a place shadow of themselves in the group stage clash with Uzbekistan. The Aussies though are a formidable side definitely way ahead of the Uzbeks in term of quality. What they will need though is assurance at the back with some silly defending at times by them. The Uzbeks came through a difficult group playing some good football. They know the challenge on hand is a huge one but can overcome it if they stick to the basics of the game. AFC Asian Cup 2019 Points Table: Latest Group-Wise Team Standings of 17th Edition of Men’s Football Championship Tournament of Asia.

Big news for Australia is the availability of Mathew Leckie who will be playing his first game of the tournament. The Hertha Berlin winger was a key figure of the title-winning 2015 squad and is set to start the game from the bench. Josh Risdon is fit again and trained with the first team while Trent Sainsbury should start after being suspended for the previous game. Aussie coach Graham Arnold has confirmed Andrew Nabbout is the only player that has no chance of making it matchday squad as he battles an injury. Chris Ikonomidis has been a standout player for the Socceroos with fours assists and a goal and all eyes would be on him once again.

Uzbekistan needs Odil Ahmedov to have a good game as he is one player that can challenge the Australian squad in terms of individual brilliance. Having played 92 games for his country, he has the necessary experience of playing games of such magnitude. The two defensive midfielders-Ikram Alibaev and Dostonbek Khamdamov have to cover a lot of ground in order to shield the back four. Otabek Shukrov may not see a lot of the balls which means he has to fall back and carry out the defensive duties too in addition to attacking with every opportunity possible. Australia are under too much pressure and that will only help them in getting a positive result against Uzbekistan. AFC Asian Cup 2019 Schedule in PDF: Download Asia Cup Football Full Timetable in IST With Fixtures, Matches, Team and Venue Details.
