Indonesia vs Saudi Arabia prediction, match preview, betting tips and odds on October 8, 2025
World Cup Qualification AFC
In the first round of the fourth stage of World Cup qualification in Asia, a match between the national teams of Indonesia and Saudi Arabia will take place on October 8, 2025. The nominal guests are playing at home and are expected to win.
Our Prediction for Indonesia vs Saudi Arabia
Indonesia has only appeared at the World Cup once, back in 1938. Afterwards, their best run came at the turn of the century, when they participated in the Asian Cup four times in a row. Returning to the tournament last time, they even reached the playoffs for the first time. Most importantly, collecting twelve points, Kluivert’s team finished fourth in their group.
Saudi Arabia finished one point ahead of their current opponent—thirteen versus twelve. However, for them, that was a failure. The decision to reappoint Hervé Renard as head coach, replacing the completely unsuccessful Roberto Mancini, who showed nothing either at the Asian Cup (eliminated in the round of 16) or in qualifying, didn’t help much. However, in the CONCACAF Gold Cup they reached the playoffs, so the Frenchman is allowed to finish the cycle, with the understanding that his team is the favorite in their group.
The nominal hosts score an average of 0.9 goals per match, conceding two in response. The guests have a positive ratio—1.0 goals scored and 0.9 conceded per match.
