In 2007, at the Asian Cup at home, Indonesia won 2-1 against Bahrain. Since then, they have not won against Bahrain in the next 3 encounters.
In the second qualifying round of the 2014 World Cup, the team from the archipelago lost 0-2 to their opponent at home in the first leg. In the second leg, they lost staggeringly with a score of 010. After 12 years, the two teams met again in the 3rd qualifying round of the 2026 World Cup, Indonesia shared the points with a score of 2-2 away, with some controversial decisions by the referee.
Both teams still have a weak chance to participate in the 2026 World Cup through the top two positions in Group C, but on the condition of winning this match. After a heavy 1-5 defeat to Australia, coach Patrick Kluivert and his team had 4 days to prepare and lift their spirits.
With the presence of tens of thousands of home fans at the "fire pan" Gelora Bung Karno, the team from the archipelago will be given more strength when entering this vital confrontation.
