In the round of 18 of the World Preliminaries, the national football team will encounter the defeated Indonesian team in the past, the opponent is the sixth pot team, and it is also the worst one among the five opponents of the national football team. Judging from the head-to-head record, the national football team is the absolute bitter master of the opponent, winning 6 out of 9 games, and once defeated the opponent with a score of 1-0 and 5-0. It seems that if the national football team plays normally, it has a chance to score 6 points against the Indonesian team!
In this draw, the Indonesian team is the sixth pot team, and the national football team is the fifth pot team, and both sides regard the opponent as a gift package. The Indonesian team is eager to get 6 points from the national football team, and the national football team is the same opinion, after all, both sides are underdogs in the round of 18, and neither dares to expect points from Japan, Saudi Arabia and Australia, after all, these three teams are all regulars in the World Cup and are all top Asian giants.
Although the Indonesian team has naturalized many European players and has the conditions to continue to choose naturalization, this Southeast Asian team is indeed the worst opponent of the national football team.
Historically, the national football team has met its opponents a total of 9 times, with a record of 6 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss, and in the past match, the national football team defeated the opponent 1-0, and the national football team also beat the opponent with a score of 5-0 in the 2004 Asian Cup. The only loss of the national football team against Indonesia was in the 1957 World Preliminary Tournament, when it lost 0-2 away, but soon avenged 4-3 at home, since then, in the 67-year history, the national football team has been undefeated against the Indonesian team in 8 games, and the record is very brilliant.
It can be seen that this time against the Indonesian team, the national football team still has a psychological advantage, hoping that the national football team will defeat the opponent and score 6 points in two legs, and only by doing it can they have a chance to enter the play-offs and continue the hope of the World Cup.
Of course, the two-legged match against the Bahrain team is also very crucial, the bottom line of the national football team is to get 4 points, if you can get 10 points on these two teams, and then just upset the Japanese team, Australia and Saudi Arabia, the national football team can basically lock in the qualification for the play-offs!
