Timor-Leste vs Indonesia Prediction and Betting Tips

Timor-Leste and Indonesia lock horns in the 2026 ASEAN Championship on Friday for their Group A encounter. Ranked 201st in the world, the Crocodiles remain without a point after two games and sit at the bottom of their group, even behind Cambodia on goal difference.

Ze Pedro’s side began their campaign with a humiliating 7-0 loss to Vietnam before a 2-0 defeat at the hands of Singapore this week.

Ilhan Fandi opened the scoring in the 41st minute before Song Ui-young bagged the second one.

Another defeat here could all but end their progression hopes as Timor-Leste cannot afford to drop points again.

But interestingly, they have never made it beyond the group stages of the Championship from any of their previous four appearances.

As for Indonesia, they beat Cambodia 5-1 in their first and only game of the tournament so far as Mitchell Baker struck a hat-trick.

With such a resounding victory, the Garuda Team are in third place in the Group A standings, trailing leaders Singapore (6 points) and Vietnam (on goal difference).

Indonesia are among the few teams to have qualified for every single tournament so far while progressing from the first round on 10 occasions.

However, two years ago, the team’s run ended in the group stages after just one win from four. A repeat of such fortunes appears unlikely this year.
