Indonesia vs Bahrain Prediction
Indonesia, as mentioned, have the likes of Oxford United duo Marcelino Ferdinan and Ole Romeny as well as Jay Idzes and Nathan Tjoe-A-On. They take on a Bahrain side that sit below the Indonesians on goal difference.
Indonesia do remain in contention for a top two spot in Group C of the third round of AFC qualification for the 2026 FIFA World Cup but they were hammered by a revitalised Australia by five goals to one the other day with a brace from Jackson Irvine as well as goals from Martin Boyle, Nelson Velupillay and Liam Miller.
They face a Bahrain side that are also still in contention for the top two, let alone the top four, but they were also beaten the other day. They were steady and difficult to beat but eventually lost by two goals to nil against Japan thanks to second-half strikes from Daichi Kamada and Takefusa Kubo.
The Indonesians, with their home advantage, will rely on their pedigree here and it would appear a decent value bet to side with them to avoid defeat in this one against Bahrain.
Indonesia vs Bahrain Tip: Double chance – Indonesia to win or draw
