Indonesia's debut at this stage of the AFC Asian Qualifiers has been commendable, with the Southeast Asian side holding their own against much higher ranked opponents.

 

Besides stunning wins over Saudi Arabia and Bahrain, Indonesia also held both - as well as Australia - to draws and will be hoping to maximise home ground advantage against China PR.

 

Patrick Kluivert - who replaced Shin Tae-yong as head coach - was proud with how his side bounced back to defeat Bahrain following their humbling 5-1 defeat to Australia on Matchday Seven and the Dutchman will be hoping to see more of the same against China PR.

Branko Ivankovic's China PR, on the other hand, have endured a disappointing campaign with their hopes of qualifying automatically for a second appearance at the FIFA World Cup already dashed.

 

A playoff spot is also not in their hands as their six points mean they are three behind fourth-placed Indonesia.

 

The East Asian side, however, did win the reverse fixture 2-1 in October and Ivankovic will be hoping they bring the same form into a hostile Gelora Bung Karno Stadium.

Venue: Gelora Bung Karno Stadium (Jakarta)
