Australia head coach Leah Blayney is confident her coaching staff have done their homework on the Uzbeks and the players are raring to follow up their 2-1 win over Korea Republic on Sunday with another three points.<\/p>\n
“We are prepared to face Uzbekistan and we will thoroughly research their strengths and weaknesses,\u201d said Blayney.<\/p>\n
\u201cWith the right game plan, we will be looking forward to the challenge of playing against the host country, which is always a great experience.\u201dGoals from Peta Trimis and Naomi Thomas-Chinnama saw Australia come from behind to claim an opening day win and they will be looking to inflict a second defeat on Uzbekistan, who lost to Chinese Taipei in their opener.<\/p>\n
A win for Australia could potentially seal a place in the knockout stage should Chinese Taipei beat Korea Republic in the other match.<\/p>\n
Having lost 2-0 to Chinese Taipei, Uzbekistan are in a precarious position in the race to qualify for the semi-finals.Head coach Ilkham Khanjariev wants his charges to forget about Sunday\u2019s result and focus on achieving a positive result against Australia.<\/p>\n
\u201cAustralia are probably the strongest team in the group so we have to prepare for that, we will work hard to make sure that we can challenge them,\u201d said Khanjariev.<\/p>\n
\u201cLosing in the first game was difficult to take but we have to forget that now and start with a clean slate. Every game is a must win for us.\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
