Souttar scored twice on debut for Australia in 2019 at GIO Stadium in a 5-0 win over Nepal.

It was dead-ball specialist Goodwin who delivered the corner that giant teammate headed home for his first goal in what was a magnificent start to the Scotland-born centre-back’s Socceroos career.

“That was a nice little memory so hopefully we can recreate that on Tuesday night,” said Goodwin, who is set to return after missing Australia’s 2-0 win last Thursday, also against Lebanon, because of a virus.

“We seem to have a good connection.”

Goodwin’s likely return is timely considering two of the Socceroos’ other left-sided options, Riley McGree and Jordy Bos, will both miss the match after suffering respective foot and knee injuries last week.

“It was disappointing for Riley and Jordy to both be taken off despite injury. Hopefully I can come on in and fill that void that’s been left on the left-hand side now,” said the 32-year-old former Adelaide United captain, who now plays his club football for Al-Wehda in the Saudi Pro League.

“I’m feeling pretty good but we’ll have to see how I go in the two training sessions then obviously have that conversation, but I’m here and whatever capacity I can contribute in, I’ll give it my best.”

The Socceroos will guarantee themselves a spot in the next round of AFC World Cup qualifiers with back-to-back wins over Lebanon.

“It’s really important that we put in another good performance,” Goodwin said.

“I think we saw some really good things the other night, but … it’s up to us to be better with the ball and better in terms of breaking them down.”

Football Australia announced on Sunday that the match would be played in front of a record crowd for a stand-alone football match at GIO Stadium, with ticket sales already surpassing the 20,032 that attended the Socceroos’ 1-0 loss to Kuwait at the venue in 2009.

“Hopefully it’s a very noisy and atmospheric crowd,” Goodwin said.

“Us players always feed off that energy. There’s more pressure to be able to deliver a good performance.

However. As much as Goodwin will enjoy playing in Canberra, he’s desperate to have at least one more chance to wear the green and gold in his home city of Adelaide before he retires from international football.

“It’s been eight years since we’ve had a game there, so I’m looking forward to the day that comes,” he said.
