Jakarta –
Indonesian National team will fight Thailand in the first leg final AFF Cup 2020. Coach Shin Tae-yong has the potential to make another surprise in fielding players.
Both the Indonesian National Team and Thailand both can not lose their best players. Indonesian National team confirmed without Primary Arhan due to accumulation of yellow cards.
Besides Arhan, Rachmat Irianto is also doubtful due to an injury in the second leg of the semifinal against Singapore. While Thailand also lost Theerathon Bunmathan and goalkeeper Chatchai Budtporm.
In the absence of Arhan, the left-back option can be filled by Edo Febriansyah, who is a deputy in that position. But there is still the possibility of other defenders such as Alfeandra Dewangga or Rizky Ridho.
The position of goalkeeper is likely to be filled by Nadeo Argawinata, who looked impressive and contributed to his qualification Indonesian National team to the finals. The center back will also be filled with Fachruddin Aryanto, Rizky Ridho, and Alfeandra Dewangga. Asnawi Mangkualam remains at right-back.
The absence of Rachmat Irianto in this midfield has the potential to create a surprise. There is Syahrian Abhimanyu who can replace him, but Evan Dimas has more opportunities because he is more experienced.
In the midfield sector, the irreplaceable Ricky Kambuaya will most likely be an option again. He will return accompanied by Ramai Rumakiek.
While the right wing attacker is filled with Witan Sulaeman, the right winger is Egy Maulana Vikri. Ezra Walian will spearhead the front.
Prediction of the Lineup of Indonesia vs Thailand
Indonesia: Nadeo Argawinata; Asnawi Mangkualam, Fachruddin Aryanto, Alfeandra Dewangga, Rizky Ridho, Edo Febriansyah; Evan Dimas, Witan Sulaeman, Ricky Kambuaya, Egy Maulana Vikri; Ezra Walian.
