Indonesia:
Indonesia, led by coach Shin Tae-yong, faces a challenging task in the Asian Cup, ranked 146th in the latest FIFA rankings, the second-lowest among participating teams. Placed in a tough group with top-ranked Japan, along with Vietnam and Iraq, advancing beyond the group stage will be a significant challenge. Despite historical success in opening Asian Cup matches, Indonesia enters the tournament winless in five successive matches, with poor recent form and bottom standing in their World Cup qualification group.
Iraq :
On the other hand, Iraq, the second-highest-seeded team in the group, aims to reach the knockout stage for the eighth consecutive time. Under coach Jesus Casas, Iraq secured notable victories in the Arabian Cup and King's Cup last year. Casas, with prior major tournament coaching experience, leads a team that has a strong record in Asian Cup group stages, currently leading their World Cup qualification group with a perfect record. Iraq, undefeated against Indonesia in their last six encounters, enters the Asian Cup with confidence and momentum.
Analysis:
Wolverhampton Wanderers' Justin Hubner seeks his Premier League debut, having earned three caps for Indonesia this year. Pratama Arhan, their most experienced player, approaches 40 caps, Marselino Ferdinan is three away from 20, and Elkan Baggott reached 21 caps. Indonesia, led by Jesus Casas, has a mix of youth and experience. Witan Sulaeman scored two goals in Asian Cup qualifying, and Marc Klok and Rachmat Irianto contributed in their 2-1 comeback win against Kuwait. Iraq, led by Casas, has Ali Adnan nearing 100 caps, Ibrahim Bayesh close to 50, Aymen Hussein one away from 70, and Bashar Resan achieving his 60th appearance. Six Iraqi players, including Resan, Rashid, Amyn, and Al-Hamadi, scored in their 5-1 victory over Indonesia in World Cup qualifying.
