Bahrain currently sit third in the group and with Japan and Australia already through as the two automatic qualifiers, they need a point from their final two games to sew up third spot.

This will then see them play the third-placed nation from the other Asian group in a two-legged playoff. The winner of that tie then plays New Zealand for a spot in the World Cup finals in South Africa.

Micala, a Czech, who has been a journeyman manager with several national teams in the Middle East, does not believe Australia will take their foot off the pedal in Wednesday night's match, but knows the Socceroos are coming off a quick back up and are no longer under pressure to qualify.

"This is our chance tomorrow. We need to make something tomorrow. We'll try our very best and then we have another game at home against Uzbekistan," he said.

Bahrain did not play on the weekend with only four of the five teams in Group A in action. It means he's had plenty of time to get his players used to the much cooler conditions and over any effects they may have had from travel.

"We are here, our trip from Bahrain was very long, but it's the same for the Australian national team, and they played on Saturday," he said.

"The time between their game against Qatar and this game is very, very short. We had one game like this against Qatar. Our players were very, very tired. Now we are lucky, we didn't play and it's a better situation for us."

While the Socceroos have completed their mission to qualify with two matches to spare, Macala is wary the release of pressure on the team may see Australia play their best style of football.

"This is not the mentality they have (to ease up). We can't say it is an easy game. There are no easy games," he said. "I think Australia does have an advantage because they are not under pressure. They can play football for the supporters and celebrate the game. "

However, he admits Australia is unlikely to field its best XI with Lucas Neill suspended, Mark Bresciano and Carl Valeri rested and an injury cloud over Tim Cahill. He knows Australia's major focus in the final two games will be getting bragging rights when they meets Asian rivals Japan in Melbourne next week,

"I don't know how many players will play because my opinion is that the game against Japan is more important to them, like the game against Uzbekistan is more important to us," he said.

While he admits a point is his team's aim in Wednesday's clash, Macala believes his Bahrain side will still need to score goals setting the scene is set for an entertaining game.

He added: "We will try to get a point. I don't know if we try attack or defence. The quality of the Australian team makes it hard. In my opinion, we want minimum one point and we must score a goal, maybe two goals.

"We have a theory that it's very difficult to play for a point without scoring a goal. We must play carefully and try our best."
