Indian cricket legend Sourav Ganguly believes the Australians hardly stand a chance in India.
The Australians, who are currently preparing for the four-Test series in India, have not won a Test match against the hosts in India since 2004, with the last three series ending 4-0, 2-0 and 2-0.
Ganguly believes the upcoming series will go a similar way for the visitors.
"Australia are going to find it difficult to win here," Ganguly told Times of India.
"It's hard to beat India in India.
"There could not have been a much stronger side than the one that toured India in 2001 and yet they could not win.
"Even the likes of Waugh, Warne, McGrath and Gillespie could not beat us.
"I had predicted before the England Test series that it will be 5-0 in India's favour, but it ended 4-0, and against Australia it could go 4-0 as well."
Ganguly also suggested India's spinners will be too hot for the Australian batsmen to handle.
"In India you have to play spin well, as well as bowl spin well to win. It's as simple as that.
"It's the spinners that have made India so dominant at home over the last 25 years.
"They just keep coming, one after the other. (Anil) Kumble and Harbhajan (Singh) in my time, (Ravi) Ashwin and (Ravindra) Jadeja now.
"You hand the ball to any spinner, he wins you games."
Australia's first Test against India begins on February 23.
