Australia are set to face New Zealand in an international friendly on October 17.
Australia are coming into this game having faced England in their previous game. The Socceroos lost their game against the Three Lions by 1-0, having put up a good fight. They drew their previous game against Mexico in an international friendly.
New Zealand played a 1-1 draw against DR Congo in their previous international friendly after having abandoned their friendly against Qatar previously.
The rivalry between New Zealand and their neighbours is pretty lopsided as Australia holds the advantage in the head-to-head tie.
