Suara.com – Football observer Coach Justin talked about Indonesia's chances in the two second round 2026 World Cup qualifying matches in the Asian zone next month when they face Vietnam home and away.
Even though Indonesia is now in the bottom position of Group F standings with one point, the opportunity to qualify for the third round to get closer to the door to the 2026 World Cup in the United States, Canada and Mexico is still wide open if the two matches against Vietnam next month achieve maximum results.
“At home you have to win, at away if you can, at least draw. If we can win at home and draw away, our chances of qualifying are big because there are two people who qualify. So we can get away with it. “That fate is in our own hands,” said Coach Justin.
