Sports Mole previews Monday's friendly clash between Indonesia and Argentina, including predictions, team news and possible lineups.
Sports Mole

The reigning world champions Argentina will attempt to extend their unbeaten run to 10 matches when they face Indonesia in Jakarta on Monday.

The hosts, meanwhile, head into the friendly fixture in promising form after losing just one of their last 12 internationals.


Match preview

Since losing 2-0 on aggregate to Vietnam in the semi-finals of the AFF Championship, Indonesia have played three consecutive friendly fixtures.

Two of those friendlies took place against Burundi in the March international window, with the fixtures producing a 3-1 win and a 2-2 draw.

After registering five goals in their two matches in March, Indonesia were unable to carry that goalscoring form into Wednesday's meeting with Palestine.

Shin Tae-yong's side had to be content with a goalless draw, which extended their unbeaten run in friendlies to nine games.

That impressive run of form in friendly matches is bound to come under threat against Argentina, with Indonesia set to face the South American nation for the very first time.

After breezing past Panama and Curacao in March, Argentina took to the field for the third time since winning the World Cup in Qatar when they faced Australia in China

Lionel Messi scored the first goal when Argentina beat Australia 2-1 in the last-16 of the 2022 World Cup, and the 35-year-old replicated the feat on Thursday, albeit in a much faster time.

Playing for the first time since announcing his move to Inter Miami, Messi produced a sublime strike from outside the box inside 80 seconds to score the fastest goal of his career.

German Pezzella came off the bench to double his side's advantage and wrap up a victory that extends Argentina's unbeaten run in friendlies to 15 games.

Since drawing 2-2 with Uruguay in November 2019, La Albiceleste have recorded seven successive friendly victories without conceding, and they will be confident of continuing that impressive run on Monday.

Team News

Syahrul Trisna, who has made seven international appearances, is expected to start in goal for the hosts, and he could be shielded by a back five.

Elkan Baggott, Jordi Amat and Rizky Ridho are set to operate as the three central defenders, while Asnawi Mangkualam and Pratama Arhan are expected to feature as the two wing-backs.

Dendy Sulistyawan has scored four goals in 11 international appearances, and he could be given the responsibility of leading the line on Monday.

As for the visitors, they will have to cope without the services of Messi, who has been given permission to start his holiday period.

Nicolas Otamendi and Angel Di Maria have also been allowed to leave the squad, with Argentina boss Lionel Scaloni set to make wholesale changes.

The likes of Geronimo Rulli, Leonardo Balerdi, Giovani Lo Celso, Alejandro Garnacho and Julian Alvarez could all be given the chance to start.


Indonesia possible starting lineup:
Trisna; Mangkualam, Baggott, Amat, Ridho, Arhan; Sayuri, Kambuaya, Klok, Lilipaly: Sulistyawan

Argentina possible starting lineup:
Rulli; Molina, Balerdi, Pezzella, Acuna; Palacios, Paredes, Lo Celso; Ocampos, Alvarez, Garnacho


We say: Indonesia 0-4 Argentina

Argentina may have to do without Messi, Di Maria and Otamendi, but their squad still boasts an array of talent, and with a number of fringe players eager to impress, we think that the visitors will ease to a comfortable victory.
