JAKARTA The Indonesian national team (Timnas) will return to meet Burundi tonight. Garuda troops are in high confidence when facing the African team.

The meeting of these two teams will be held at Patriot Candrabhaga Stadium, Bekasi, West Java, Tuesday, March 28, 2023 at 20.30 pm WIB. This is the second clash between the Indonesian national team versus Burundi.

Before this, the two of them fought on Saturday, March 25, in the same place. At that time, Shin Tae-yong's Indonesia immediately won three goals through Yakob Sayuri, Dendy Sulistyawan, and Rizky Ridho in the first half.

Burundi then rose in the second half after missing three goals in the first half. They put out their best potential even though the result only scored one entertainment goal through Pacifique Niyongabire.

The 1-3 defeat in the first meeting of the Red and White squad certainly made Burundi have learned a lot. They certainly tried hard to take revenge or at least did not miss many more goals in this second meeting.

On the other hand, the victory in the first clash clearly adds to the motivation of Shin's foster children. They will certainly try to repeat the same success in front of their own supporters.

To aim for a second victory over the same team, Shin is not expected to make much changes to the first eleven players. In the defense sector, Elkan Baggott will cooperate with Jordi Amat and Rizky Ridho.

Then in the middle sector, Marc Klok and Yakob Sayuri also have a great chance of becoming a starter again. Meanwhile, at the forefront of Dendy Sulistiawan again became a mainstay.

If you win again, Indonesia's position in the FIFA ranking will increase significantly. Currently, Indonesia is still in 151st place or ten places adrift of Burundi who is above.
