China wants to repeat World Cup miracle

Like Indonesia, China has only participated in the World Cup once.

After first qualifying in 1957 for the World Cup a year later, China finally qualified for the finals in 2002, but lost all three group stage matches.

Indonesia aims to qualify for World Cup for second time

Indonesia is trying to qualify for the World Cup for the first time since gaining independence from the Netherlands in 1945.

Previously, the country had participated in the World Cup finals in 1938, when it was still known as the Dutch East Indies.

Survival Opportunity for Indonesia and China

If they win the remaining two matches, Indonesia will have a chance to compete for the second place in the group - which means a direct ticket to the 2026 World Cup.

Although the possibility of surpassing Australia (currently 4 points ahead) is very low, 6 full points will ensure Indonesia a 3rd or 4th place - meaning a ticket to the final qualifying round to continue the race.

For China, who have only won two games so far this campaign, they must win both of their final matches to have any hope of finishing third or fourth and securing a place in the final qualifying round. A draw or loss would see China's journey come to an end.

Indonesia changes four positions

Head coach Patrick Kluivert, made four changes to Indonesia's starting line-up, compared to the last match which was a 1-0 home win over Bahrain in March.

Goalkeeper Audero will start in place of Paes, while Yakob, Kambuaya and Egy replace Diks, Ferdinan and Oratmangoen.

Indonesia starting lineup

Indonesia: Audero; Ridho, Idzes, Hubner; Pelupessy, Kambuaya, Haye, Verdonk; Egy, Yakob; Romeny

After an important 1-0 victory over Bahrain on March 25, Indonesia is currently ranked 4th in Group C with 9 points. If they continue to win all 3 points against China and Bahrain loses to Saudi Arabia, coach Patrick Kluivert's team will have a great chance to advance to the final qualifying round.

Although they are 4 points behind Australia (ranked 2nd), the opportunity to win a play-off spot or even compete for 3rd place if the results are favorable will be open if Indonesia knows how to take advantage of home field. At Gelora Bung Karno, Indonesia has won 2 of the last 4 matches, scoring 6 goals.

In the victory over Bahrain, Indonesia's defense played solidly, allowing only one shot on target. However, their defensive weakness is still a big question mark, as they have conceded 14 goals in 8 matches, including 10 goals in the last 5 matches.

As for China, a 0-2 defeat to Australia on March 25 left them bottom of Group C with just 6 points, equal to Bahrain but with a worse goal difference. If they lose another match, the door to the 2026 World Cup will close for coach Branko Ivankovic's team.

The only support for China is the 2-1 victory over Indonesia in the first leg in October 2024, as well as a better head-to-head record in the past. In the last 5 encounters, China is unbeaten with 4 wins and 1 draw.
