Indonesia host Bahrain at the Gelora Bung Karno Stadium in Jakarta on Tuesday for their clash in the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers. Interestingly, both teams are tied with six points in Group C after winning just once each in seven games.
The hosts sit ahead of their rivals from the Middle East by virtue of having scored more goals. However, netting seven times from seven games is hardly impressive on its own.
Just when things seemed to be on the up for the Garuda Team, Australia burst their bubble by handing them a 5-1 defeat earlier this week, their third of the campaign. Indonesia are on a run of four games without a win in all competitions since last year and really need to up the ante to keep their progression hopes alive.

On the other hand, Bahrain have witnessed identical fortunes in the campaign. But having begun their run with a shock 1-0 win over Australia, it's all gone downhill for the Pearl Divers since then, failing to win any of their next six.
In their latest qualifier, the Gulf state suffered a 2-0 loss at the hands of Japan, as Daichi Kamada and Takefusa Kubo struck apiece in the second half to condemn Bahrain to their third defeat of the campaign.
Indonesia vs Bahrain Head-To-Head and Key Numbers

Indonesia vs Bahrain Prediction
The Garuda Team are on a rough patch right now, losing their last couple of games. Bahrain are coming off the back of a defeat too, but have fared better overall. The Reds have a decent attacking frontline that can feast on Indonesia's fragile defense and claim all three points.
