Indonesia vs Saudi Arabia prediction
Saudi Arabia are likely to be heavy favourites to qualify through to the knockout stage in Group B. They will have been hugely disappointed to have finished third-place in Group C of the previous round, admittedly a tough group with Japan and Australia above them in the table. But there should be no excuses for them on this occasion. They should be seen as a stronger side than both of their two opponents, although Indonesia would have something to say above that after taking four points from Saudi Arabia in the previous round.
Expect a much-improved Saudi Arabia on this occasion, although Indonesia will likely get chances to score, so the Saudi backline will need to be at their best. In the end though, Saudi Arabia should finally click into gear so consider backing them via the safety of the draw no bet market.
