Team Analysis
An intriguing Group F match awaits us as Indonesia hosts the Philippines in World Cup Qualification round. Indonesia stands second in their group and a win over the Philippines, the main underdogs of the group, might provide them a ticket to the next round. The hosts have shown an alarming streak with just four goals scored throughout the last five official games. However, they are still projected to secure a win in this upcoming match, regardless of their goal tally.

The Philippines, on the other hand, failed their group stage and now face Indonesia with hardly any need to win. They only acquired one point and scored three goals throughout five matches, while conceding 12. Today, they are a visiting team with a poor form, so they might not put their full force against Indonesia. Nevertheless, they will have to fight in the Asian Cup qualification.

Head-to-Head
In the last five years, Indonesia and the Philippines have clashed twice, one match ending in favor of Indonesia and the other in a draw. They also met in the group stage, which ended in a score draw. When it comes to ball possession, the Philippines led 57% against Indonesia's 43%, while the shots on target were 5:4 in favor of Indonesia, who were the away team.

Odds Analysis
Given the hosts' necessity for a win and their inconsistent performance, we anticipate a few goals in this encounter. Since both teams have a low corner score with roughly an average of 4 corners per match, a limited number of corners might be seen in this upcoming game, although the hosts are pushing for victory. The anticipated score for this match is likely to be 2-0 in favor of Indonesia.

When it comes to tips, the Philippines has been seen to win with a handicap of +1.5 in each of their last five matches against Indonesia. They haven't won any of their last 7 games, losing 6 out of 7, and haven't secured a win in each of their last 6 WC Qualification, AFC, Asia games. If Vietnam drops points, a win for the hosts could lead to their advancement to the next round. Overall, despite being the underdog team, the Philippines could show some surprises in the match.

Pick: Under 3.5 goals
