Football Livescore | Match Prediction & Tips
----------------------------
Indonesia’s national team will face Saudi Arabia in their Group B clash of the 2026 World Cup Qualifiers, aiming for a crucial three points. The match, set for October 9 at King Abdullah Sports City in Jeddah, could determine both teams’ chances of advancing. With only two games in this round, a win would bring hope, while a loss could make qualification far more difficult.
Team Analysis:
Indonesia finished fourth in Group C with 12 points, just one behind third-placed Saudi Arabia. In recent friendlies, Patrick Kluivert’s side impressed with a 6-0 win over Chinese Taipei and a draw against Lebanon while testing a new 4-2-3-1 formation. Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia showed solid form in Europe, drawing with the Czech Republic and beating North Macedonia.
Player Situation:
Indonesia received a boost ahead of their clash with Saudi Arabia as Maarten Paes and Ole Romeny have fully recovered and are ready to play. Their return could be crucial given their strong performances in past matches. On the other hand, Saudi Arabia will rely on home advantage and the sharpness of striker Abdullah Al-Hamdan.
Result Prediction:
Historically, Indonesia trails far behind Saudi Arabia, winning just once in 15 meetings across all competitions. However, in World Cup Qualifiers, the gap is narrower, with Indonesia recording one win and one draw from four encounters. Saudi Arabia’s two victories in this context came during the 2006 qualification campaign.
Predicted Result: Indonesia 0-0 Saudi Arabia.
