Bahrain started their third round of qualifying campaign with a shock 1-0 win away to Australia on September 5. Harry Scouttar's 89th-minute own goal separated the two sides at Robina Stadium. However, the Pearl Divers lost 5-0 to Japan in their following contest.
Nevertheless, the Reds are sitting at the third spot in the six-team table. With home matches against Indonesia and China to come in their next three outings. Should Dragan Talajic's side collect at least three points from that double-header, they will remain very much in contention for a top-four finish, which would guarantee a place in the fourth round.
Indonesia , on the other hand, have earned two points from their first two outings against Saudi Arabi and Australia last month. The Garudas earned a hard-fought 1-1 draw away to Saudi Arabia on September 5, thanks to Sandy Walsh's first-half effort. And then, the Red and White's played out a goalless home-draw versus Australia.
Shin Tae-yong's side, ranked 129th in the world, have certainly punched above their weight in their last two outings. Keeping a clean sheet against Socceroos would have made their rivals in the group take note that Indonesia are capable of extending their participation in this qualifying campaign.
