We said: Australia 1-1 Saudi Arabia

Both locked on five points after four matches and with the top-two race hotting up, we are expecting a cagey affair between Australia and Saudi Arabia on Thursday night. The Green Falcons will be desperate to record a victory during Renard's first match back at the helm, although we feel that the Socceroos should be good enough to force a share of the spoils in Melbourne.
