Indonesia vs Argentina match preview
Will Argentina’s 100% record in 2023 continue?
On Thursday evening, la Albiceleste beat Australia 2-0 in Běijīng, with Lionel Messi scoring a trademark curler just 80 seconds into the game, before Germán Pezzella headed home the clincher.
This means, since picking up their third World Cup in December, Lionel Scaloni’s team have won all three friendlies this year, beating Panama 2-0 and Curaçao 7-0 back in March.
The World Champions are ultimately building towards September when the next CONMEBOL World Cup qualifying cycle begins, hosting Ecuador on matchday one before facing Bolivia in La Paz a few days later.
La Albiceleste will also be aiming to retain their Copa América trophy in the U.S. next summer.
Here, Argentina will travel to Jakarta without Lionel Messi, who’s gone on holiday ahead of his move to Miami, but they should still easily win this friendly.
Well…. the answer is not very.
The Red and Whites haven’t featured at an Asia Cup since 2007, qualifying as co-hosts back then, although that will change in January, reaching the next edition by defeating Kuwait and Nepal 12 months ago.
In Qatar, Shin Tae-yong’s team will face Iraq, Vietnam and Japan in the group phase, widely expected to be heading home after that.
So far this year, Indonesia have played Burundi twice, winning 3-1 and drawing 2-2 three days later, before being held to a goalless stalemate by Palestine in a friendly on Wednesday in Surabaya.
For what it’s worth, the hosts are currently ranked 149 by FIFA, just below Lithuania, Hong Kong and Liberia.
So, in front of an enormous crowd at Gelora Bung Karno Stadium, expect Argentina to run riot.
