Summary
Indonesia host Lebanon at the Stadion Gelora Bung Tomo in an international friendly on Monday at 1:30 pm GMT, as both nations prepare for the upcoming World Cup qualifiers. Led by Patrick Kluivert, Indonesia aim to bounce back from recent defeats, while Miodrag Radulović’s Lebanon arrive in solid form after strong results against Qatar and Brunei. Fans can expect a competitive clash between two developing Asian sides.
Form Guide
Indonesia’s recent form has been a mix of promise and setbacks. They showed attacking flair in a 6–0 win over Chinese Taipei and followed that with a narrow but important 1–0 victory against China, proving their ability to compete against stronger Asian sides. A resilient 1–0 win over Bahrain further highlighted their growing defensive structure. However, the team have also suffered heavy defeats, notably a 6–0 loss to Japan and a 5–1 defeat against Australia, exposing weaknesses at the back.
Lebanon enter this clash in stronger form and with more momentum. They earned a morale-boosting 1–0 win over Qatar in a recent friendly, showing defensive discipline and tactical maturity under Miodrag Radulović. In World Cup qualifying, they registered a dominant 5–0 victory against Brunei and a comfortable 4–0 win over Timor-Leste, reflecting their attacking power against lower-ranked teams. Their 0–0 draw with Yemen underlined their ability to grind out results, though a 1–0 loss to Oman showed they can still be tested by top-tier opponents.
Squad Updates and News
Indonesia head into the friendly at full strength under Patrick Kluivert. The squad features several European-based players, including goalkeeper Emil Audero, defender Jordi Amat, and midfielder Thom Haye, alongside domestic stars such as Egy Maulana Vikri and Ramadhan Sananta. With no major injury concerns, Kluivert can rotate his lineup freely and test combinations in defence and midfield, where Indonesia has struggled in recent matches.
Lebanon, coached by Miodrag Radulović, also bring a strong squad into the fixture. Veteran goalkeeper Mehdi Khalil anchors the defence, supported by experienced names like Khalil Khamis and Hussein Zein. In midfield, creativity comes from Mohamad Haidar and Bassel Jradi, while young forwards Gabriel Bitar and Zein Farran provide pace and energy in attack. Lebanon has no major injuries reported, giving Radulović a balanced mix of youth and experience to choose from.
Match Preview
Indonesia, under head coach Patrick Kluivert, are building a team that blends European-based players with domestic stars. Their defence, however, has been vulnerable against top Asian nations, and they’ll need stability at the back. Lebanon, coached by Miodrag Radulović, are solid defensively and rely on the creativity of Bassel Jradi and the experience of Mohamad Haidar in midfield. With Mehdi Khalil’s presence in goal, they’ll be difficult to break down. Both teams see this friendly as a chance to fine-tune tactics before the 2026 World Cup qualifiers, making it an evenly matched contest.
