Australia have had a decent run of form recently, good enough to get them to the World Cup, but they are still flattering to deceive quite a bit. This match against the Czechs will be a great challenge to them to see where they are before they get to Russia. They will face two very good European teams, Denmark and France, in their group, so they will need to build toward that by getting a win against the Czechs. They should just about do that, but they will not dominate them by any means.
