According to the schedule, the Indonesian team will host Saudi Arabia in the 6th match of the 3rd qualifying round of the 2026 World Cup - Asia region. This is also the 2nd consecutive match that coach Shin Tae-yong and his team will play at Bung Karno Stadium.
Previously, in the last match, the Indonesian team lost 0-4 to Japan. Along with China's 1-0 victory over Bahrain, the team from the archipelago was pushed to the bottom of the table with 3 points, 2 points behind Bahrain.
Therefore, Indonesia is determined to defeat Saudi Arabia in the upcoming match to increase the score and catch up with the opponents above. They are also eager to find the first win in the third qualifying round of the 2026 World Cup.
However, this is not an easy challenge as Saudi Arabia has a very annoying playing style. In the first leg, the two teams drew 1-1.
Despite a rough start, Saudi Arabia still got 6 points and ranked 3rd. New coach Herve Renard is trying to help the team improve their performance in the upcoming period.
The match between Indonesia and Saudi Arabia will take place at 19:00 on November 19.
