Jakarta, CNNIndonesia —
Indonesian U-20 National Team will face New Zealand U-20 in a mini-tournament match at the Bung Karno Main Stadium (SUGBK), Sunday (19/2). The following is the predicted line-up Indonesia U-20 National Team vs New Zealand.
After a convincing win over Fiji, Shin Tae Yong’s men will again try opponents from the Oceania region.
New Zealand, who are the champions of the U-20 Oceania Cup, will present a different style of resistance compared to Fiji.
Facing New Zealand, Shin could have presented a different line-up compared to the match last Friday (17/2).
Cahya Supriadi, who was placed as a backup goalkeeper, can return to the main position that he was once familiar with.
The trio of Kakang Rudianto, Marcell Januar Putra and Sulthan Zaky, who filled in at the back, have the opportunity to be overhauled given the presence of Brandon Scheuneman and Dimas Juliono Pamungkas.
It is also not impossible that Shin will play a four-back formation so that there are opportunities for players in the full back position.
The midfield quartet who became the core players against Fiji, Dony Tri Pamungkas, Zanadin Fariz, Achmad Maulana Syarif and Arkhan Fikri will likely also be changed.
The figures of Robi Darwis and Resa Aditya Nugraha deserve to be tested as starters in the ‘engine room’ of the U-20 Indonesian National Team.
It is no different from the position of a wing striker, which has the potential to be disassembled due to the abundant availability of players.
Meanwhile, for the spearhead position, Rabbani Tasnim is likely to be trusted to return to play from the first minute because Hokky Caraka and Ronaldo Kwateh are certain to be unable to play.
Prediction of the composition of the U-20 vs New Zealand national team players:
Light Supriadi; Kakang Rudianto, Dimas Juliono Pamungkas, Brandon Scheunemann; Dony Tri Pamungkas, Robi Darwis, Zanadin Fariz, Arkhan Fikri; Alfriyanto Nico, Rabbani Tasnim, Dony Tri Pamungkas
