Aage Hareide's side comparatively looks strong than Bert van Marwijk's side. With star players like Christian Eriksen (Tottenham Hotspur) and Thomas Delaney (Borussia Dortmund) over midfield and players like Andreas Christensen (Chelsea) and Simon Kjaer (Sevilla F.C.) over defense line, Australia certainly is going to find it hard to break the chain.
