The International Friendly match between Indonesia and Argentina will take place at Gelora Bung Karno Stadium on Monday at 6:00 pm IST.
Argentina, the current world champions, will strive to continue their undefeated streak and make it 10 consecutive matches without a loss when they play against Indonesia in Jakarta on Monday. On the other hand, the home team enters the friendly game with a positive record, having only lost one out of their previous 12 international matches.
Following their defeat by Vietnam with a 2-0 aggregate score in the semi-finals of the AFF Championship, Indonesia has participated in three consecutive friendly matches. During the international window in March, two of those friendlies were played against Burundi, resulting in a 3-1 victory and a 2-2 draw. Although Indonesia managed to score a total of five goals in their two March matches, they couldn’t replicate that scoring prowess in their recent encounter with Palestine. In a match held on Wednesday, Shin Tae-yong’s team had to settle for a goalless draw, extending their unbeaten streak in friendly matches to nine games.
After comfortably defeating Panama and Curacao in March, Argentina returned to the field for the third time since their World Cup triumph in Qatar. This time, they faced Australia in China. Lionel Messi, who had scored the opening goal when Argentina defeated Australia 2-1 in the last-16 of the 2022 World Cup, replicated that achievement on Thursday, but this time in record time. In his first match since announcing his move to Inter Miami, Messi showcased his brilliance by scoring a remarkable goal from outside the box within 80 seconds, marking the fastest goal of his career. Since drawing 2-2 with Uruguay in November 2019, the Argentine national team has recorded seven consecutive friendly victories without conceding a goal.
Indonesia probable starting lineup: Trisna, Mangkualam, Baggott, Amat, Ridho, Arhan, Sayuri, Kambuaya, Klok, Lilipaly, Sulistyawan
Argentina probable starting lineup: Rulli, Molina, Balerdi, Pezzella, Acuna, Palacios, Paredes, Lo Celso, Ocampos, Alvarez, Garnacho
