Coming Up: Socceroos face Saudi Arabia & Bahrain
It won't be long until the Socceroos will be in action once again as they head to Melbourne to meet Saudi Arabia on Thursday, 14 November.
Popovic oversaw an upturn in form across their October Qualifiers which saw them come out on top against China before sharing the points with top of the table Japan in Saitama.
Those much needed points coupled with favourable results elsewhere will see them enter November's Qualifiers in second place just ahead of Saudi Arabia thanks to their superior goal difference.
Relive all the action from the Socceroos October Qualifiers
The Green and Gold last came up against the Arabian Falcons at this same stage of qualification for the 2022 FIFA World Cup.
That meeting in Jeddah ended 1-0 in favour of the hosts while the first match in Sydney in November 2021 ended in a goalless stalemate.
The Socceroos will then prepare for what will be their final match of the year as they make the trip to Bahrain six days later, on the hunt to make amends for their defeat in the reverse fixture on the Gold Coast.
They opened their Third Round Qualifiers in the worst way possible as Bahrain secured a surprise 1-0 win that sent shockwaves throughout the football world.
Watch Bahrain vs Subway Socceroos live and exclusive on Paramount+ on Wednesday, 20 November.
