This is from Aus Watch Football. It's probably pretty close. Would also be really disappointing imo.

Izzo deserves to start. I want one of Irankunda or Segecic to start. We've gotta get a big long look at Balard to assess.

I'll scream if Metcalfe, Boyle, and O'Neill start. This is meant to be a window where we try new things.

Windows consist of two matches. I'll be annoyed if some of the new talent in the squad don't get decent game time (around 30 minutes) over the two matches. It makes no sense to have the experienced players miss out altogether and for continuity we need a few of them starting.

I hope this is not our 11:
- Metcalf is NOT a left winger
- it would be insanity to select Boyle over Irankunka
- likewise O'Neil over Balard - all O'Neil ever does is shuffle the ball about. We need more than he offers.

I guess it is one game out of 2, so the second game 11 might look very different.

Its that websites best guess but I think may be accurate guess based on recent games. I agree, I'd like to see different.
 
Much of the make up of at least tonight’s XI will be based on the fitness/sharpness of how the players have arrived in camp. Some only arrived 48 hours ago if I’m not mistaken. You’d have to choose two XIs starlight up and then reevaluate the second games XI after tonight.

I too will be pissed if we see a conservative XI tonight at home
 
Tonight’s match will be broadcast live on 10 Drama, and is also available to stream via 10 Play and Paramount+.

True i haven't seen anything about it on the news at all, And Ch10 dumping it off there main channel and putting the game on 10 Drama just shows u how much the chips have fallen on the Socceroo's hype.

It's primarily because the opponent is NZ that very few people give a shit ;)

Not to mention NZ haven't turned up to a friendly against us since 2010. Maybe tonight but even if they win 5:0, it just feels like some boring premeditated local practice game. Less exciting. For tonight I want to win for ranking points and also see some experimentation.

And what makes it worse is that we are playing them twice!

Least fun front three ever
 
No idea why Popa loves Hrusic. Showed early promise but he has been aweful at club and soceroos levels IMO.
he does have talent so I hope he has turned it around.
