World Cup 2010: Australia vs Serbia Preview
The World Cup 2010 Group D game between Australia and Serbia at Mbombela Stadium, Nelspruit is to kick-off 7.30pm BST.
Despite the monotony they showed on the pitch in this World Cup, Serbia have three points in their group. Australia can still qualify, but they need to finish the game with only 11 men, as Harry Kewell and defender Craig Moore are suspended.
On the other side, Serbia rely on Nemanja Vidic to keep the team tight at the back and to hit teams on the break through lamppost Nicola Zigic.
“We can be confident, we must do the right things against Australia. They didn’t play great in the first game like us. Anything can happen in one game, we need to be focused.” Nemanja Vidic said.
“We want Germany to go out and perform the way they did against us. Create lots of chances, be clinical and score lots of goals. Hopefully that brings Ghana’s goal difference into the minuses and then we have to do our bit.” Lucas Neill told reporters.
Teams Lineups:
Australia (4-5-1): Schwarzer, Wilkshire, Neill, Beauchamp, Chipperfield; Emerton, Culina, Holman, Valeri, Bresciano; Cahill
Suspended: Kewell, Moor
Subs: Federici, Galekovic, Milligan, Carney, Grella, Jedinak, Vidosic, Rukavytsya, Kennedy, Holman, Garcia
