Bahrain coach Milan Macala believes this is the best time to face Australia as his team bids to claim the point that will secure a World Cup play-off spot.

TAB Sportsbet doesn't appear to share that philosophy with Australia priced at $1.30, Bahrain come in at $9 with the draw $4.75.

For those expecting another narrow triumph for Verbeek's men, a 1-0 home win is on offer at $7 with $5.50 for a 2-0 triumph.

Optimists hoping for a goal frenzy can get $17 for a 5-0 Australian win. The far less exciting prospect of a 0-0 draw is up for grabs at $11.

As for the first Australian goalscorer, Tim Cahill is priced at $5.50 with Scott McDonald $5 to break his international duck.

Harry Kewell is $6 while newcomers Rhys Williams and Adrian Madaschi are both $26.

Pessimists or Bahrain supporters can get $17 on a 1-0 away win, $34 for a 2-1 triumph while anyone bizarrely anticipating a Socceroos collapse can get $501 on a 5-0 win for Bahrain.
