Indonesia host Thailand at the Gelora Bung Karno Stadium in Jakarta on Thursday in Group A of the AFF Championship as both teams look to continue their winning starts to the campaign.
The Garuda's Team beat Cambodia 2-1 before hammering Brunei 7-0 to claim all six points from two games as they aim to win their first-ever title in the ASEAN tournament.
Thailand, meanwhile, made light work of Brunei in their opening game with a thumping 5-0 victory followed by a 4-0 thrashing of the Philippines.
Courtesy of a better goal difference to Indonesia, the War Elephants sit in first spot in Group A while the former are just behind them in second.

Indonesia vs Thailand Prediction
Indonesia haven't beaten Thailand in six years but if there's ever been a time when the side have looked capable of ending that run, it's now.
The Garuda's Team are dangerous in attack and can give their rivals a serious run for their money.
However, Thailand have shown fantastic form at the tournament, and are more than capable of holding them to a draw.
