Australia face Saudi Arabia at the King Abdullah Sports City Stadium in Jeddah .

The Socceroos maintain a three -point buffer on Saudi Arabia as well as a healthy advantage in goal difference and goals scored.

The swelling of the World Cup to 48 teams has removed some of the existential dread that defeat in a game like this as the Socceroos experienced against the Saudis just over three years ago .
