Failing to beat Saudi Arabia would be a blow, but the Socceroos boss isn't worried ahead of Thursday's qualifier
Australia coach Ange Postecoglou insists his team's focus is far from the consequences of a loss to Saudi Arabia in World Cup qualifying.
The Socceroos host the Group B clash in Adelaide on Thursday needing a win to boost their chances of a top-two finish and place at Russia 2018.
Postecoglou's men are third in the group – three points adrift of their opponents and leaders Japan – with three matches remaining.
Failing to win at Adelaide Oval would be a huge blow to the Socceroos' chances of automatic qualification, but Postecoglou said his team were still well-placed.
