English Media Predicts Indonesia Will Suffer Heavy Defeat Against Japan

English media predicts that Indonesia national team will suffer a heavy defeat against Japan — even though the Blue Samurai will only field their second-string squad.

This match represents the final game of Group C third round of 2026 World Cup qualifiers Asian zone, taking place at Suita City Stadium, Osaka — on Tuesday evening local time.

Both teams have actually achieved their qualification targets — Ole Romeny’s squad has secured their ticket to the fourth round, while Japan has already qualified for the 2026 World Cup as group winners.

Nevertheless, this match remains significant for Hajime Moriyasu’s team — who aim to maintain their reputation in front of their home supporters.
