Indonesia will face Libya at the Titanic Mardan Stadium on Thursday in another friendly clash between the two sides.
Merah Putih are set to play in the AFC Asian Cup in Qatar later this month, taking a break from their disappointing World Cup qualification campaign. They were thrashed 4-0 by their midweek opponents in a friendly clash on Tuesday and will now aim to put out a much better showing in Thursday's rematch.
Following Thursday's game, Indonesia will face Iran in another friendly clash next week before kicking off their Asian Cup campaign against Iraq at the Ahmed bin Ali Stadium midway through the month.
Libya, meanwhile, have enjoyed a strong start to life under new boss Milutin Sredojevic, although they will miss out on the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations. They picked up a dominant win over Indonesia in their previous meeting on Thursday, with Ahmed Krawaa opening the scoring midway through the first half before three different players joined the team captain on the scoresheet in the second half.

Indonesia vs Libya Prediction
Indonesia are on a three-game winless streak, with two of those games ending in defeat after losing just one of their seven games prior. They failed to come alive in the reverse fixture on Tuesday and will be looking to enact some form of revenge this week.
Libya, on the other hand, have won three of their last four games and are undefeated in their last five. They are in much better form than their midweek opponents and should come out on top here.
Prediction: Indonesia 0-2 Libya
