The Socceroos only need a win or a draw to seal second position in Group D, while Paraguay must win to leapfrog Australia into that spot.
Both teams are likely to go through in third place if they don’t get their desirable result, provided their goal difference doesn’t take too much of a hit.
Will it be a tense encounter with both teams not wanting to concede? Or will see a nation go for the jugular and second place?
