JAKARTA - Indonesian national team coach Shin Tae-yong is predicted to field his best line-up in the third match of Group B ASEAN Cup 2024 against Vietnam at the Viet Tri Stadium, tonight at 20.00 WIB.

Under the crossbar, Cahya Supriadi, who missed the second match against Laos due to injury, is predicted to return to guard Indonesia's goal. In the first match, the FC Bekasi City player performed well after making three saves against Myanmar.

In the 3-4-3 formation, the three defenders on the back are likely to be filled again by a trio in the first match, namely Muhammad Ferarri, Kadek Arel, and Dony Tri Pamungkas. These three defenders were rotated in the match against Laos because Dony's position was replaced by Kakang Rudianto.

Asnawi Mangkualam and Pratama Arhan are predicted to come down from the first minute. If in the previous two matches these two players were placed not in their original position, it seems that in the match against Vietnam, Shin will return the two to their natural positions, namely Asnawi in the right-wing defender and Arhan in the left-wing defender.

Turning to midfield, Arkhan Fikri seems to be still one of the options to maintain stability in defense and attack. Chances are, Fikri will be accompanied by a new debutant, Rivaldo Pakpahan.

In the attack line, without Marselino Ferdinand, Shin had to rack his brain to fill the left wing area. Ronaldo Kwateh, who also plays the position, is likely to be the choice to accompany Rafael Struick and Hokky Caraka as a buzzer.

Indonesia: Cahya Supriadi, Kadek Arel, Muhammad Ferarri, Dony Tri Pamungkas, Pratama Arhan, Asnawi Mangkualam, Rivaldo Pakpahan, Arkhan Fikri, Rafael Struick, Ronaldo Kwateh, Hokky Caraka

Coach: Shin Tae-yong
