Indonesia vs Chinese Taipei: Predictions Preview, Lineups, H2h for September 5, 2025

On September 5, Gelora Bung Tomo Stadium in Surabaya will host an international friendly between Indonesia and Chinese Taipei. Here’s a look at the match and its betting odds.

Match Preview

The Indonesian national team, led by Patrick Kluivert, is becoming a competitive force. Earlier this year, they secured a 1-0 victory against China, showcasing strong defense and effective finishing. Despite significant losses to teams like Japan (0-6) and Australia (1-5), Indonesia is learning from these experiences and developing its strategy.

The midfield has been a highlight, controlling games even against tougher opponents. Kluivert focuses on discipline and organization, providing the team with much-needed stability. With Chinese Taipei’s inconsistent performances, Indonesia is well-positioned to assert dominance and aim for a strong result.

Chinese Taipei, however, is struggling with form. They have lost nine of their last eleven games, including a recent 1-3 defeat to Sri Lanka. Yet, they can be unpredictable when they perform well, as shown by a 4-0 win against Mongolia, despite the low competition level.

Under Coach Che-Ming Huang, Chinese Taipei has issues with consistency and finishing. Their efforts are often undermined by defensive mistakes and problems in the attack. Against Indonesia, who have more skilled players, they will face significant challenges from the start.

Probable Lineups

• Indonesia: Paes, Verdonk, Habner, Idzes, Ridho, Walsh, Ferdinan, Haye, Henner, Struick, Oratmangun
• Chinese Taipei: Huang Chiu-Lin; Chao Ming-Hsu, Hsieh Mei, Huang Tian-Min, Tsao Kai; Wu Chun-Ching, Chen Po-Liang, Estama Belfort; Kang Te Won, Chen Chao-An, Yu Yao-Hsing

Match Facts and Head-to-Head

• Indonesia’s win against China marked the end of a tough period.
• Chinese Taipei has lost 9 of their last 11 matches.
• Both teams often concede goals, making the “both teams to score” bet appealing.

Prediction

Indonesia appears to be in better form, with a stronger midfield and clear improvements under their new coach. In contrast, Chinese Taipei has shown little progress. A bet on Indonesia to win with a -1 handicap seems reasonable, and expecting over 2.5 total goals is also likely given the defensive issues on both sides.
