Indonesia
DLLWLW
Indonesia fans will want a repeat of their previous result, being the 1-0 WC Qualifiers - Asia triumph vs Bahrain.
In that match, Indonesia managed 42% possession and 7 attempts at goal with 3 of them on target. The only player on the scoresheet for Indonesia was Ole Romeny (24'). Bahrain got 7 attempts at goal with 1 of them on target.
Matches involving Indonesia have proved to be lively ones recently with a lot of goalmouth action the rule rather than the exception. Over their past half dozen clashes alone, a grand total of 20 goals have been scored for both teams combined (at an average of 3.33 goals per game) with 7 of them accredited to Indonesia. That sort of trend won’t necessarily follow through into this game, though.
China
LWWLLL 📉
Since being defeated in their last game at the hands of Australia in WC Qualifiers - Asia competition, China and their travelling supporters will be hoping that they can get a better result in this one.
In that match, China managed 49% possession and 12 shots at goal with 1 of them on target. Australia had 7 attempts on goal with 2 on target. Jackson Irvine (16') and Nishan Velupillay (29') scored for Australia.
The stats don’t lie, and China have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 games, conceding 10 goals in total. In defence, China have been far from perfect.
🤜🤛
Head to head
The previous league meeting featuring these clubs was WC Qualifiers - Asia match day 4 on 15/10/2024 and the score finished China 2-1 Indonesia.
On that day, China had 24% possession and 5 shots on goal with 3 of them on target. Their only player to score was Yuning Zhang (44').
Indonesia had 14 attempts at goal with 6 of them on target. Thom Haye (87') scored.
🔮
Prediction
Looking at these two teams, we feel that Indonesia look likely to be able to score a couple against China, who could well struggle to break down their defence.
We’re therefore expecting to see a 2-0 victory for Indonesia at the end of this one.
