Prediction before Indonesia vs Bahrain match

In the debut match of coach Kluivert, Indonesia was dealt a heavy blow when they were defeated 1-5 on the field of Australia. The heavy defeat brought Indonesia's feet back to the ground, when their players and fans still dreamed of a direct ticket to the 2026 World Cup. Now, Indonesia has completely lost to Australia in the race for second place in the group.

Indonesia is currently ranked 4th, behind Saudi Arabia. Coach Kluivert and his team still have hope of taking Australia's place, but it is very fragile. Indonesia's goal ahead is to beat Bahrain to continue the race and find excitement again. If they draw or lose to Bahrain, the situation will reverse for Indonesia and it will be difficult for them to stay in the top 4.

Bahrain currently has 6 points with Indonesia. Coach Kluivert and his team have home field advantage in this match. However, it will not be easy for the team from the archipelago to win. In the most recent match, Bahrain played resiliently against Japan and lost 0-2. Before that, Bahrain beat Saudi Arabia and drew with Australia.

Coach Kluivert has sent out a message of "death battle" to Indonesia. He affirmed that his team has no way back, the next 3 matches are all like the final. Kluivert wants Indonesia to take advantage of the home field, play proactively to win convincingly.

On the contrary, Indonesian media are concerned that Indonesia will continue to fall if they continue to play attacking football according to Kluivert's philosophy. Bahrain have proven that they are a resilient team, especially disciplined and capable of sharp counter-attacks.

In the first leg in Bahrain, Indonesia drew 2-2. Coach Shin Tae-yong and his team were almost certain to win, before Bahrain scored an equalizer in the 90+9 minute. To this day, the Indonesian media still regrets the draw in Bahrain, because if they had won that match, the current situation of Coach Kluivert and his team would have been completely different.

Indonesia has home advantage to hope for. In the third qualifying round, the team from the archipelago played quite well at home. They drew with Australia, beat Saudi Arabia and lost to a very strong Japan.
