According to the schedule, the Indonesian team will host the Australian team in the second match of the third qualifying round of the 2026 World Cup. The match will take place at Gelora Bung Karno Stadium.
Previously, coach Shin Tae-yong and his team had just made a surprise when they drew 1-1 with Saudi Arabia in their opening match, even though they only controlled the ball 34% of the time and had to defend most of the time.
This time, despite playing at home, the recent statistics of the team from the archipelago are not positive. They only won 2 matches, drew 1 and lost 5 in the most recent home matches.
On the other side, Australia is a formidable opponent, currently ranked 24th in the FIFA rankings. They just suffered a surprising defeat against Bahrain in the previous match, despite being 56 places higher than their opponents in the world rankings.
Before this shocking defeat, Graham Arnold's team had won all four matches, scoring 14 goals and conceding none. They had also lost only two of their last 14 matches (11 wins, 1 draw). Their recent away form has also been impressive, winning five matches and keeping a clean sheet in all five.
The match between Indonesia and Australia in the third qualifying round of the World Cup will take place at 7:30 p.m. today (September 10).
