Right now Wales can't buy a win. Sunday's 24-19 defeat to Fiji equalled their record for the most successive losses with 10. One more would be an all-time low, surpassing their previous worst run of results set in 2002 and 2003.
Their predicament hasn't been helped by the loss of scrum-half Tomos Williams or wing Mason Grady to injury. In their places, Ellis Bevan and Tom Rogers start, with Jac Morgan and James Botham (grandson of England cricket titan Sir Ian) replacing Taine Plumtree.
Australia arrive having improved their fortunes following a rotten Rugby World Cup that saw them crash out in the group stages and a Wooden Spoon finish at this year's Rugby Championship.
The surprise news from head coach Joe Schmidt's camp is that star centre Joseph-Aukuso Suaalii, who ran rings round England last Saturday, drops to the bench.
In his place Samu Kerevi starts along with five other personnel changes, including the omission of captain Harry Wilson due to concussion.
Every Autumn Series match including Wales vs Australia is live on TNT Sports in the UK and can be streamed via Discovery Plus.
Wales matches are also free to view on BBC iPlayer's S4C with Welsh commentary. In Australia you can catch the match live on Stan Sport. And rugby fans in the US can tune into all the action on Peacock TV.
