* PRE-MATCH PREDICTIONS

Entering the final match of Group B of the 2025 AFF Women's Cup, the Australian women's team is facing a great opportunity to win a ticket to the semi-finals, but the prerequisite is to defeat Timor Leste. After two matches, Australia is temporarily ranked second in Group B with 3 points (0 goal difference), while Myanmar leads with 6 points (+4 goal difference). The Philippines is third with 3 points and +6 goal difference (ranked behind Australia because they lost the direct match).

Australia must beat Timor Leste and wait for the result of the match between Myanmar and the Philippines taking place at the same time.

Australia will qualify if they beat Timor Leste and the Philippines fail to beat Myanmar. If both Australia and the Philippines win, the outcome will be unpredictable: Australia, Myanmar and the Philippines all have 6 points. The head-to-head record between the three teams will be taken into account.

With superior advantages in physique, fitness and class, the kangaroo team is rated much higher than Timor Leste, the team that is at the bottom of Group B and has been eliminated early. In terms of playing style, Australia is likely to continue to apply a high-pressing style of play, taking advantage of the speed and diverse finishing ability of the strikers. The kangaroo team only needs to win to have a chance to continue, regardless of the number of goals.
