The Merah Putih will be keen on securing a win here. They are now in the fourth round and a positive start for them can be a big confidence booster.

It is not going to be an easy fixture for them. The Indonesia national football team have only been able to come up with mediocre performances till now.

The Saudi Arabia national football team fell prey to Australia in their previous World Cup qualifying game. The Green Falcons came close to securing a win but were outplayed.

They will be looking to step up here, if they want to secure a win here. Saudi Arabia did not stand a chance against Indonesia when these sides last met.
