Iraq vs Indonesia: Prediction, Preview, lineups, tips and odds on October 11, 2025
World Cup Qualification AFC
In the second round of the fourth stage of World Cup qualification in Asia on October 11, 2025, a match will take place between the national teams of Iraq and Indonesia. Only a win will suffice for the nominal visitors.
Our Prediction for Iraq vs Indonesia
Iraq has only played at the World Cup once, back in 1986 – and they lost all three matches. Additionally, they have consistently participated in the Asian Cup since 1996, always reaching the playoffs, and in 2007 they were even champions. They narrowly missed out on a direct World Cup berth: they finished one point behind Jordan in their group, 15 to 16.
Indonesia is rated much lower. Yes, they appeared at the distant 1938 World Cup, but after that only competed in the Asian Cup from 1996 to 2007, earning just a couple of draws in four tournaments. However, in the most recent edition in Qatar, they not only returned to this level at last but also reached the Round of 16! In qualification, they collected twelve points, finishing fourth in their group. This sent them to an additional group stage, and just last week against Saudi Arabia, they opened the scoring and fought until the end, but lost 2-3.
Hussein and his teammates score an average of 0.9 goals per match and concede 1.4 in return. Kluivert’s side averages 1.3 goals scored and 1.6 conceded.
