AFC U17 Asian Cup
Australia go into the tie with the advantage as a draw will confirm them as the group winners thanks to a superior goal difference, with both sides having defeated India in their respective opening matches.
Uzbekistan, however, will be a handful as they were in a class of their own in the 3-0 defeat of India in their opening encounter.
They enjoyed almost 70 percent possession, had 26 shots - 10 of which were on target - and allowed India just one.
