Indonesia host Laos at the Manahan Stadium in Surakarta on Thursday for their second game of the 2024 ASEAN Championship, looking to make it two wins from two.
The Garuda Team overcame Myanmar in their opening clash, as an own goal from Zin Nyi Nyi Aung in the 77th minute earned the former a 1-0 win in Yangon.
It was their second consecutive victory in official games, as Shin Tae-yong's side had also beaten Saudi Arabia in their final game of the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers last month.
Meanwhile, Laos began their ASEAN campaign with a 4-1 loss at the hands of Vietnam at home. Following a cagey first half, the Golden Star Warriors struck four times after the break through Nguyen Hai Long, Nguyen Tien Linh, Nguyen Van Toan and Van Vi Nguyen.

Bounphachan Bounkong pulled one back for the beleaguered hosts in stoppage time from the penalty spot, but it was too little too late, as the Million Elephants were soundly beaten.
Their winless run in all competition now extends to six games.

Indonesia vs Laos Prediction
The Garuda Team are not a formidable side, but they have picked up some good results lately and look sharp at the moment too.
However, it's their stoic defense that has truly been impressive, and something that they will rely on once again to shut out their stuttering vvisitors. We expect Indonesia to make it two wins from two matches at the ASEAN showpiece.
Prediction: Indonesia 2-0 Laos
