by Kennedy Kechula in World Cup Predictions
Japan are expected to field an understrength side against Indonesia at home in their 2026 World Cup qualifier. This will be the final Group C clash in the third round of qualifiers, with Japan leading and Indonesia being fourth. Let’s have a look at the match prediction.
Japan were among the first teams to book the 2026 World Cup tickets, so this is just a formality. The Blue Samurai are seeking a win in the last group match after picking up just one point in the last two games.
Their latest one was quite frustrating to coach Hajime Moriyasu. He fielded a weak side and lost 1-0 in Australia; Japan’s first defeat since February 2024.
Meanwhile, with 12 points, Indonesia are set to finish outside the top two and will continue with their search in the fourth round of the qualifiers. This match, therefore, doesn’t hold much importance, as they are six points above fifth-placed Bahrain.
A win could see them finish third, but that won’t change much. This is a fixture that rarely goes their way, and Indonesia will at best hope to avoid a heavy defeat.
They are winless in four matches against Japan. The latest of them came in 2024, as Japan won 3-1 at the Asian Cup and 4-0 in the current qualifiers.

Our Japan vs Indonesia Prediction
This game, for both nations, is a dead rubber. Japan have their World Cup ticket already punched, and most of the players called up aren’t regulars. Still, you’d expect Japan to have enough talent to take down Indonesia at home.
The hosts boast of strength in defence and that should show here. Indonesia took a 4-0 beating in the first meeting with Japan at home. They will be glad to face a weaker side, though their own run in such matches hasn’t been very encouraging. Here they face a side that has done well at home. Our prediction for Japan v Indonesia is: Both teams to score – NO.
