Match Analysis: Saudi Arabia vs Indonesia

Indonesia is the only Southeast Asian representative in the third round of World Cup 2026 qualifiers. However, their chances of advancing are quite slim given the presence of strong teams in their group, including Japan, Saudi Arabia, Australia, China, and Bahrain. Indonesia’s most realistic goal might be to accumulate as many points as possible in this tough group.

In their opening match, Indonesia faces a formidable opponent in Saudi Arabia. Despite Indonesia’s decent form, having won 3 out of their last 5 matches, the gap in quality between Indonesia and Saudi Arabia remains significant. Indonesia, despite having several naturalized players currently active in European leagues, will face a tough challenge.

On the other hand, Saudi Arabia has been in solid form recently. Under coach Mancini, they are unbeaten in 4 out of their last 5 matches, with 2 wins, 2 draws, and 1 loss. Saudi Arabia has established itself as one of the stronger teams in Asian football. With the advantage of playing at home and a superior squad, a win is the expected outcome for Saudi Arabia in this match.
