The 2026 World Cup will be expanded to 48 teams, opening up opportunities for teams like Bahrain and Indonesia to qualify for the biggest football festival on the planet.
Both teams faced a tough task in the same group as Japan, Saudi Arabia and Australia. However, Bahrain caused a stir with a 1-0 win over Australia. The Socceroos are now without a win after two games, opening up an unpredictable scenario in Group C.
Bahrain then lost 0-5 at home to Japan, but the 3 points against Australia gave the team hope. If Dragan Talajic's team can get at least 3 points against Indonesia and China, they can compete for a place in the top 4.
On the other hand, Indonesia are in great form with only 1 defeat in the last 7 matches in all competitions. They had important draws with other teams Saudi Arabia and Australia in the third qualifying round.
If they get points against Bahrain, coach Shin Tae-yong's team will increase their hopes in this race.
