Indonesia vs Australia Prediction and Betting Tips | September 10th 2024

Indonesia and Australia are back in action in the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers when they face off at the Gelora Bung Karno Stadium on Tuesday. The Socceroos head into the midweek clash unbeaten in their last nine games against Shin Tae-yong’s men and will look to extend this dominant four-decade streak.

Indonesia were denied a dream start to the FIFA World Cup second qualifying round as they were held to a 1-1 draw by Saudi Arabia at the King Abdullah Sports City on Thursday.

Mechelen defender Sandy Walsh broke the deadlock in the 19th minute to put Tae-yong’s men in front but Musab Fahd Aljuwayr scored right on the stroke of half time to hand Saudi Arabia a share of the spoils.

Indonesia have come into the third qualifying round following a decent run of results in the second round, where they finished second in Group F with 10 points from six matches.

Australia, on the other hand, suffered a surprise 1-0 defeat against Bahrain in Thursday’s group opener at the Cbus Super Stadium.

In a game where Kusini Yengi received his marching orders, Sheffield United defender Harry Souttar scored an 89th-minute own goal to hand Bahrain a famous victory over Graham Arnold’s men.

Australia had enjoyed a 100% record in the second qualifying round as they picked up six wins from six games in Group I to finish 10 points clear at the top of the table.
