Indonesia vs China: Prediction and odds on the match on 05 June 2025
High-flying Indonesia will host China on June 5 at 16:45 (GMT+3) in Jakarta in a vital World Cup qualifying game that will be crucial and has the potential to reshape Group C. Under the inspiring head coach Shin Tae-yong, the hosts are a disciplined and compact side, making it difficult to break down and buoyed by a strong home record, which has raised the confidence of the team. A tactically disciplined game against Bahrain led to a narrow win for Indonesia. The team has managed to pull together a string of solid performances that have underlined their progress.
China remains under growing pressure as the team is now bottom of the group and remains winless in their last three qualifiers. With the return of key striker, Wu Lei, the team will be motivated, but the defensive lapses and poor record when playing away raise a lot of questions. Indonesia will sense an opportunity to take all 3-points as the home crowd and momentum, especially at home, will be important.

Through a sturdy approach, Indonesia has quietly become one of the most improved sides in Southeast Asia. Indonesia has accrued valuable points in recent games, as evident in the 1-0 win over Bahrain. While some players playing in Europe have helped raise the standard of playing, Tae Yong has also instilled tactical discipline into the team.
At the vibrant Gelora Bung Karno Stadium, Indonesia has been very disciplined, especially in defence and has, in some instances, played total football, which has resulted in the team conceding just one goal in three games played. The atmosphere that the crowd in Jakarta provide has helped turn the stadium into a fortress for the team and this is something that China will not be comfirble with.

China: form and statistics
China will enter this match under much pressure as Ivankovic’s team has lost momentum due to back-to-back defeats against teams like Australia and Saudi Arabia. China has been let down by defensive weakness and a lack of urgency in both defence and attack. The team has transitioned slowly from defence to attack, and this gives opposing teams time to recover.
China's away form is also very worrying for the manager as the team has failed to score in the last two away games. The attack has not functioned well and has looked shabby mainly due to the absence of Wu Lei, who is very important for the team. The availability of Wu Lei will be key for the team but China has to play as a cohesive unit and not be under pressure to silence the home crowd.

Indonesia vs China
Shin Tae-yong has quietly built a resilient and structured squad that plays with confidence irrespective of the opponents. Against a China side that is capable of winning on paper, it will be interesting to see what will happen. China has not been a cohesive unit, and their poor away form is a big issue that may play on the psychology of the players. We expect another disciplined play from Indonesia, resulting in a narrow win (1-0 or 2-0).

Our match prediction: is under 3 goals for a coefficient of 1.64 in the Betway bookmaker.
Our betting tip on the match: is W1 to win for a coefficient of 1.62 in the Bet365 bookmaker.
