Indonesia Vs Jordan 2023 Asian Cup Qualification: The Consistency Of The Garuda Squad Is Tested

JAKARTA - The Indonesian national team will play the second match of Group A of the 2023 Asian Cup Qualification against Jordan on Sunday, 12 June 2022 in the early hours of WIB. The consistency of the Red and White squad will also be tested.

The match will take place at the Jaber Al-Ahmad International Stadium. The team made by Shin Tae-yong came with high confidence thanks to the victory over Kuwait in the inaugural match.

Three points after defeating Kuwait makes Indonesia currently in second place in the group standings from one match that has been played. The number of points is the same as Jordan who is at the top of the standings.

In the first match, Jordan also performed well against Nepal. The team coached by Adnan Hanad won with two goals without reply.

On paper, the Jordanian national team is clearly more favored to win. However, Indonesia's chance to bring home points remains open.

Victory is not impossible if you look at the appearance of Marc Klok and his friends in the inaugural match.

Regardless of who has a greater chance of winning, whoever gets the three points from the match has a great chance of making it to next year's finals.

As is known, only the group winners and the best runners-up can advance to the finals.

With such calculations, Indonesia must catch up with the numbers in the match against Jordan and if it can beat Nepal in the last match. If that scenario occurs, it is possible that Klok and his friends could be one of the five best runners-up.

To be able to get a point against Jordan, Shin Tae-yong is not expected to make big changes in the starting eleven. Names such as Klok, Fachruddin Aryanto, Stefano Lilipaly, and Elkan Baggott.

The following is the prediction of the Indonesian vs Jordanian line-up:

Indonesia (3-5-2): Nadeo Argawinata; Fachrudin Aryanto, Elkan Baggott, Rizky Ridho; Asnawi Mangkualam, Primary Arhan, Marc Klok, Rachmat Irianto, Ricky Kambuaya; Saddil Ramdani, Stefano Lilipaly.

Coach: Shin Tae Yong

Jordan (4-3-3): Yazid Abu Laila; Yazan Al Arab, Abdullah Nassib, Muhammad Abu Hasish, Ihsan Haddad; Bahaa Abdel Rahman, Ahmed Samir, Alwan; Mahmoud Al Mardi, Yazan Al Naimat, Hamza Al Dardour.

Coach: Adnan Hamad.
