Although the Socceroos currently lead Group B following victories over India and Syria, the White Wolves can pip Graham Arnold's side to the top spot with a win in Tuesday's tie at Al-Janoub Stadium.
Srecko Katanec's side opened their campaign with a goalless draw against Syria before picking up a 3-0 win against India.
