On Thursday, we are going to have 9 games in the Asian World Cup qualifier and one of the games will be between Australia and Indonesia. After 6 games, Australia has 1 win, 4 draws, 1 loss, a total of 7 points and 2nd place while Indonesia has 1 win, 3 draws, 2 losses, a total of 6 points and 3rd place. In this game, I predict Australia's win.

While the records are similar for both teams, I'm going with Australia. If we look at the performance at home, the hosts lost their opening tournament game against Bahrain (0:1), although they had 71% ball control and 3 big scoring chances, while Bahrain didn't have any. Australia got the red card and had an own goal in the 89th minute. Australia won the next home game against China (3:1) while drawing 0:0 against Saudi Arabia. Once again - Australia had way more shots and big chances, but they just couldn't convert.

Indonesia also has won only 1 game but that was at home. It was a very lucky win because Saudi Arabia had 10 more shots in total, they had 77% ball control, but Indonesia still managed to score 2 goals. On the road, Indonesia drew against Saudi Arabia and Bahrain, but the opponents played better, and once again - Indonesia was lucky to get points. The 3rd road game was against China, and Indonesia lost 1:2.

Australia will be without Harry Souttar, Massimo Luongo and Riley McGree while Indonesia will miss Egy Maulana, Asnawi Mangkualam and Elkan Baggott.

The teams drew 0:0 in their 1st meeting, but Australia should have won. The Australians had 63% ball control, 14 more shots in total, 3 more shots on target, and the Indonesian goalkeeper had 5 saves. This is an important game for both teams, but Australia is at home where they have been solid and I see them taking all 3 points.

周四，我们将在世界杯亚洲区预选赛中进行9场比赛，其中一场是澳大利亚和印度尼西亚之间的比赛。6场比赛结束后，澳大利亚1胜4平1负，积7分排名第二，印尼1胜3平2负，积6分排名第三。在这场比赛中，我预测澳大利亚会赢。

虽然两队的记录差不多，但我还是选澳大利亚队。如果我们看一下在主场的表现，东道主在首场比赛中以0:1输给了巴林队，尽管他们有71%的控球率和3次重要的得分机会，而巴林队却没有。澳大利亚队得到红牌，并在第89分钟打入乌龙球。澳大利亚在下一场主场对阵中国的比赛中以3:1获胜，而与沙特的比赛则以0:0打平。再一次，澳大利亚有更多的射门和机会，但他们就是无法转化。

印尼也只赢了1场比赛，但那是在主场。这是一场非常幸运的胜利，因为沙特阿拉伯总共有10次射门，他们有77%的控球率，但印度尼西亚仍然打进了2球。在客场，印尼战平了沙特阿拉伯和巴林，但对手发挥得更好，再一次——印尼很幸运地拿到了积分。第三场客场比赛是对阵中国，印尼1:2输了。

澳大利亚队将失去哈里·索塔尔、马西莫·卢昂戈和莱利·麦克格里，而印度尼西亚队将失去埃吉·毛拉纳、阿斯纳维·曼格瓦拉姆和埃尔坎·巴戈特。

两队在第一次相遇时打成了0:0，但澳大利亚应该赢。澳大利亚队的控球率为63%，射门次数超过14次，射门次数超过3次，印尼守门员有5次扑救。这场比赛对两支球队都很重要，但澳大利亚是在主场，他们一直很稳定，我认为他们会拿到全部3分。
