Given the short turnaround between both games and the players arriving at all different times this week I expect there to be heavy rotation. Here is my predicted lineup for Thursday and Sunday. I think we will go quite light on Thursday then bring the big guns off the bench then full strength come Sunday.

Thursday
Sail
Roux Payne Reid Pijnaker Cacace
Stamenic Howieson
Just
Waine Wood

Sunday
Woud
Ingham Tuiloma Reid Pijanker Cacace
Bell
Stamenic Garbett
Just
Wood

If only 1 of Bell & Stamenic starts on Thursday it's Bell. He's hardly played of late. Stamenic has basically played two full games in 4 days in Denmark (one an UCL game).

See no reason why Sail wouldn't play both games, unless he has a shocker in Brissy. Hopefully Howieson doesn't start in either match.

But yes Reid hasn't played a serious football game in 2 months. Hard to see him getting through 2 full games in 3 days.

I think it's the Socceroos who will be more likely to make sweeping changes between the 2 games & experiment - they have far better depth, and Arnie has stated he wants to give everyone a chance to stake a claim for their WC squad.

The AWs I reckon will very motivated for a rare win over the old foe, and play more a full strength team with few changes over the 2 games. Hay knows a victory over Aussie will look very nice on his CV - and by next Monday he could be jobless.
