Match Stats

Indonesia has only collected three points in their last three matches, all from draws. Despite struggling for victories, the team has managed to surprise by earning points against Saudi Arabia and Australia. However, they suffered a narrow 1-2 defeat to direct competitor China and a heavy 0-4 loss to Japan a few days ago. Although their qualification hopes are not yet over, as they are only three points behind fourth place, they must step up to stay in contention.

Saudi Arabia, known for their historic victory over Argentina at the last World Cup, had a disappointing Asian Cup campaign, exiting in the Round of 16. Following their early exit, the team brought in Roberto Mancini as head coach, but after unsatisfactory results, he was replaced by Hervé Renard, who famously guided them to their Qatar miracle. Under Renard, Saudi Arabia played to a 1-1 away draw against Australia in his debut match. Currently sitting in third place with six points from five games, Saudi Arabia aims to improve their form and climb the table.
