Indonesia vs Saudi Arabia, Live Streaming, AFC World Cup Qualifiers: Match Preview
Indonesia are looking to make a historic first-ever FIFA World Cup appearance since independence in 1949. Being odds against them, the team has performed well in previous rounds, including winning China 1-0 in a must-win third-round match to move to the fourth round. Patrick Kluivert has warned his team against being shell-shocked by the unfriendly atmosphere at a crowded King Abdullah Sports City Stadium in Jeddah.
Saudi Arabia, on the other hand, are keen to seek revenge after a 2-0 defeat to Indonesia in the last encounter and a 1-1 draw in September. Under the guidance of Herve Renard, the Green Falcons hope to keep alive their chances of a seventh World Cup appearance. Experienced strikers such as Salem Al-Dawsari are part of the team, although injuries to Muhannad Al-Shanqeeti and Saad Al-Nasser are a cause for concern.

Indonesia will be without first-choice goalkeeper Emil Audero and top striker Marselino Ferdinan. Forward Ole Romeny is also questionable. Coach Patrick Kluivert will likely adopt a defensive, disciplined formation to blunt the Saudi attack.
Saudi Arabia have defenders Muhannad Al-Shanqeeti (muscle) and Saad Al-Nasser (knee) missing game time, while keeper Nawaf Al-Aqidi is in doubt. The team counts on Salem Al-Dawsari for the goals, with Al-Shehri and Al-Buraikan offering attacking backup.
