Prediction for Jordan vs Indonesia in the U-23 Asian Cup, Red and White Don't Concede

Jakarta, Beritasatu.com – The Indonesian U-23 national team will play their final match in the 2024 U-23 Asian Cup against Jordan at the Abdullah bin Khalifa Stadium, Doha, Qatar on Sunday (21/4/2024) starting at 22.30 WIB.

One important thing in the final match of the Group A preliminary round is that Indonesia must not concede. Shin Tae-yong can use the strategy used when beating Australia again in this match. However, of course he must sharpen the performance of his team's front and middle lines.

This match will be held simultaneously or at the same time as the other match in Group A between hosts Qatar and Australia at the Jassim bin Hamad Stadium, Al Rayyan.

This match is very important for the three teams in group A. This is because three teams, namely Indonesia, Jordan and Australia, still have a chance to qualify for the quarter-finals.

Qatar became the first team to ensure qualification for the last eight after beating Jordan 1-0 in the second match. They will meet runner-up group B on April 25.

Indonesia opened up the opportunity to advance to the next round after successfully beating Australia 1-0 with heroic resistance. Shin Tae-yong's troops were shocked by a penalty in the first half after defender Komang Teguh was deemed to have committed a hdns-ball.

However, goalkeeper Ernando Ari was extraordinary able to thwart Australian striker Mohamed Traore's shot of Liberian descent. This moment was the beginning of the mental improvement of Rizky Ridho and his friends.

At the end of the first half, the underdog team was successful in scoring a goal. Komang Teguh seemed to be paying for the mistake of causing the penalty kick to break through the opponent's goal. Starting from Witan Sulaeman's corner kick, the ball was then headed by his partner and headed towards Nathan Tjoe-An-On.

This Dutch-born player then fired a kick towards the goal. Before it reached the goal, the ball was deflected by Komang Teguh's header which left the Australian goalkeeper helpless as the goal was broken.

Australia attacked Indonesia's defense for almost the entire second half. However, thanks to the discipline of the players and the greatness of goalkeeper Ernando Ari who performed heroically, Indonesia's goal was not conceded until the match was over.

Red and White also occupies second place in the standings with three points. Qatar fills the top position with six points. Meanwhile, Australia and Lebanon, who have both just won one point, are in third and fourth place.

Against Jordan, Shin Tae-yong will likely play a similar formation and the same players when beating Australia.

He will play a 3-5-2 formation, pairing Fajar Fathurrahman and Jeam Kelly Sroyer on the front line. Meeeka will be supported by five players in the middle row, namely Pratama Arhan, Nathan Tjoe-A-On, Marselino Ferdinan, Rafael Struick, and Witan Sulaeman. The back line will be entrusted to Komang Teguh, Rizky Ridho, and Muhammad Ferrari. The goalkeeper position will not be changed from Ernando Ari, who played extraordinary against Australia.

The champion and runner-up automatically qualify for the quarter-finals. There are no words other than winning so that Indonesia can advance steadily to the next round. If it becomes runner-up group, Indonesia will meet the winner of group B, which is likely to be South Korea or Japan.
