Indonesia vs Bahrain Prediction & Betting Tips (25 March)

While we could expect difficulties for Indonesia in the face of opponents like Japan, Australia or Saudi Arabia, this selection remains in the race for a qualification with 6 points on the clock. In November, she fell heavily against the Japanese 0-4 but was able to bounce back by winning against Saudi Arabia 2-0 despite numerical inferiority. In December, Indonesia took part in the Asean Championship but failed to qualify for the final phase after finishing 3rd in its group behind the Philippines and Vietnam. During this truce, despite an encouraging performance, she underwent the offensive power of Australia, conceding a heavy 5-1 defeat. The Bahrain began her career with a surprise victory against Australia 0-1, taking advantage of her numerical superiority to force a goal against his Souttar camp at the end of the match. However, this performance remained isolated in this 3rd qualification round.

The team then underwent a heavy correction against Japan 0-5 and bowed against China 0-1 in November. In December, the Bahrain participated in the Gulf Cup and distinguished itself with a successful group phase, beating Saudi Arabia 2-3 and Iraq 2-0. In January, the team won the tournament by dominating Oman in the 2-1 final after eliminating Kuwait 1-0 in the semi-finals. However, despite these good performances, a logical defeat against Japan 2-0 during the last truce slowed down its hopes of direct qualification for the World Cup. There remains a hope through possible dams. 

Indonesia will have to deal without several executives, including his captain Mangkualam and the titular defender Baggott. The middle Egy Maulana Vikri (9 goals in 31 selections), initially summoned, is ultimately forfeited, while other elements like Argawinata, Ferrari, Jenner, Sananta (5 goals) and Caraka (2 goals) are uncertain. The offensive sector will still be worn by Ferdinan (Oxford), author of a double against Saudi Arabia, as well as by Kambuaya (5 goals), Jenner (Utrecht) and Tjoe-a-on (Swansea).

In defense, Pattynama (Eupen), Idzes (Venezia), Arhan (55 selections) and Ridho (46 selections) will be present. Note that Ter Haar Romeny (Oxford) scored the only Indonesian goal against Australia during this truce.

• Summary: Indonesia is going head to head with Bahrain starting on 25 Mar 2025 at 13:45 UTC at Gelora Bung Karno Stadium stadium, Senayan city, Indonesia. The match is a part of the World Cup Qualification, AFC, Round 3, Gr. C .
