Australia – 1.16
Draw – 7.00
Indonesia – 14.00
Australia
Australia are one of the few Asian Cup favourites who have lived up to expectations so far. They beat India 2-0, then won against Syria 1-0 and finally drew 1-1 with Uzbekistan getting on top of their group with ease.
Against Indonesia, the Socceroos could be missing Craig Goodwin who is injured. The veteran missed two group-stage games due to the knock he picked but there is a little chance he might recover for tomorrow.
Indonesia
For the first time in their history, Indonesia qualified for the Asian Cup playoffs, having finished third in their group.
Interestingly, they did it with just three points gained from three games: in fact, they have the worst results among all third-placed teams that got to the knockout stages.
Australia vs Indonesia: Facts to know
Australia have been undefeated in seven games in a row.
Out of those seven, they won six matches.
Before the 1-1 draw with Uzbekistan, Australia kept six clean sheets in a row.
Indonesia have won just one and lost six out of their eight last games.
Australia vs Indonesia: Head-to-head
Indonesia have never beaten Australia in their entire history. Moreover, they have never scored against the Socceroos. Their best achievement is the 0-0 draw in a 2010 World Cup qualifier.
Overall, there have been three games between the sides: Australia won the remaining two, keeping clean sheets on all occasions.
Australia vs Indonesia: Prediction and betting tip
Australia have built a reputation as a practically-minded team that doesn't score goals just for the sake of it. They could have thrashed India and Syria, instead, they scored two goals against the former and just one goal against the latter. Nothing suggests they will change their approach tomorrow.
Our betting tip: Australia to win + goals total under 3.5 (Betobet's betting odds – 1.89)
