Japan head coach Hajime Moriyasu opted for an experimental squad against Australia on Thursday, with the Socceroos winning 1-0 and the tactician is expected to maintain the same approach against Indonesia.

 

"I wanted to see what they (the inexperienced players) could do against a strong opponent in very difficult circumstances," Moriyasu said. "We have to improve and expand our squad."

The match will be another chance for Indonesia to test themselves against one of the continent's biggest sides ahead of the playoffs.

 

Head coach Patrick Kluivert was proud of their performance against China PR but the Dutchman will know that Japan - despite missing their stars - will be much tougher opposition.
