The match
This match is likely to be pivotal as both teams chase automatic qualifying spot for
Group C. IR Iran, Asia s second highest-ranked side, are surprisingly found languishing in third after four outings - Team Melli are trailing leaders Iraq and hosts Bahrain by five and three points respectively. Despite having a game in hand, Iran s new boss Dragan Skocic is all too aware that his side can t afford to drop further points.
After not playing in 18 months, the Socceroos will reunite in Kuwait next month for four World Cup qualifiers with an extended squad set to give a few new players a chance to impress

QPR recorded their eighth away win of the season with a comfortable 2-0 win at Stoke City, thanks to goals from Charlie Austin and Ossie Kakay.
Austin slammed home the opener with typical ruthlessness in the first half while Kakay finished off a stunning team move to seal the points after the break.
Rangers, led by assistant boss John Eustace in the absence of Mark Warburton who could not travel due to knee surgery, were good value for their win.
There was one change from the side that lost to Norwich City last weekend, with Austin in for George Thomas.
