Australia will look to move on from their disappointing start to the third round of AFC World Cup qualifiers as they face Indonesia on Tuesday.

The Socceroos suffered a shock defeat to Bahrain at home in their opening game of this round of qualifiers. Forward Kusini Yengi’s dismissal in the 77th minute saw Australia go down to 10 men, and defender Harry Souttar’s 89th-minute own goal added to their misery.

Indonesia come into this game with high hopes after they pulled off a surprise 1-1 draw with Saudi Arabia. They will hope that the home support pushes them towards another miraculous result against an AFC giant.

The Sporting News looks at the key details ahead of this game, including how to watch the match, kickoff times and the latest lineup news.

Indonesia vs. Australia lineups, team news

Australia will be without Kusini Yengi, who is suspended after getting a red card in their loss to Bahrain. Mitchell Duke is likely to replace him.

Duke may be supported by the likes of Martin Boyle and Craig Goodwin in attack. The Socceroos’ midfield trio could comprise Aiden O’Neill, Jackson Irvine, and Connor Metcalfe.

Australia predicted XI (4-3-3, right to left): Ryan(GK) — Circati, Souttar, Rowles, Behich — Metcalfe, Irvine, O’Neill — Boyle, Duke, Goodwin.

Injured: None
Suspended: Yengi

Indonesia will most probably be without midfielder Thom Haye, who was substituted in their draw against Saudi Arabia after picking up an injury.

He was replaced by Marselino Ferdinan, who could take his spot in the starting 11 against Australia. Rizky Ramadhani, Jay Idzes and Calvin Verdonk are favourites to start in the centre of defence.

Indonesia predicted XI (5-4-1, right to left): Paes(GK) — Walsh, Ramadhani, Idzes, Verdonk, Tjoe-A-On — Sulaeman, Jenner, Ferdinan, Oratmangoen — Strui.

Injured: Haye
Suspended: None

Indonesia vs. Australia Prediction 

Australia have the historical advantage when it comes to this fixture, having won 15 of the 19 games played against Indonesia. Their only loss against Indonesia took place back in 1981.

Despite not having the ideal start to this round of AFC World Cup qualifiers, Australia should comfortably see off Indonesia and get back to winning ways.

• Prediction: Indonesia 0-2 Australia
