Indonesia vs Australia Match Analysis & Prediction
10/09/2024 3:00 pm
Indonesia will be hoping to inflict Australia’s second defeat in the AFC World Cup qualifiers on Tuesday when the two teams meet at Gelora Bung Karno Stadium.
After one game, the hosts are in third position with one point in their six-team group, while the visitors are fifth with no points following their 1-0 defeat to Bahrain on September 5.
Indonesia played out a 1-1 draw with Saudi Arabia on September 5 in a game that they had just 34% possession and were forced to defend for large periods.
The stalemate means that Shin Tae-Yong’s side have lost just once in their last six AFC World Cup qualifying matches, winning three times and drawing twice.
However, Indonesia’s home form is concerning, especially as they have won just twice, drawn once and lost five times in their last eight home matches.
Meanwhile, Australia head into the contest having suffered a surprise defeat to Bahrain, who are 80th in FIFA’s rankings of national teams, 56 spots lower than the Socceroos.
Graham Arnold’s side had 71% possession and limited Bahrain to just one shot on target, but they lost due to Harry Souttar’s 89th-minute own goal.
Arnold could point to the fact that his side were reduced to 10 players when Kusini Yengi was sent off in the 77th minute, but this does not excuse his team’s inability to make the most of their dominance.
Infairness to Arnold, prior to his side’s defeat last time out, they had won the previous four matches and scored 14 goals without conceding, and Australia have only lost two of their last 14 games – winning 11 times and drawing once in these fixtures.
The Socceroos’ away record is also impressive considering that they have won their last five matches on the road and have kept five clean sheets in the process.

Indonesia are likely to be without the services of midfielder Thom Haye, who was substituted in the 56th minute for Marselino Ferdinan due to injury.
Ivar Jenner could join Ferdinan in midfield, while centre-backs Rizky Ramadhani, Jay Idzes and Calvin Verdonk could shield goalkeeper Maarten Paes.
