After Australia eased past Bangladesh on Thursday in Perth and edged Kyrgyzstan 2-1 in Bishkek last June, Mubin Ergashev’s Tajikistan will provide Australia with their trickiest test to date in qualification.
The game is being played amid the backdrop of civil unrest in the Tajik capital Dushanbe. What’s more, the Tajiks will be desperate for three points to kick-start their campaign as they cast a realistic eye on second spot in the group.
