Jakarta, CNN Indonesia —
Indonesian National team and Singapore will certainly field the best squad in the semifinal first leg match AFF Cup 2020 (AFF Cup 2021). The following is the prediction of the line-up for Indonesia vs Singapore in the AFF Cup.
Indonesia will face Singapore in the first leg of the 2020 AFF Cup semifinals at the National Stadium, Kallang, on Wednesday (22/12) night WIB.
Both teams will certainly try to secure victory and look for goal savings as capital to carry out the semifinal second leg match, Saturday (25/12).
In this match, it is predicted that the Indonesian national team will field a different line-up from the previous match against Malaysia.
This time the Indonesian national team is predicted to play with a 5-2-3 formation which will transform into a 3-4-3 when the situation attacks.
In the goalkeeper position, Nadeo Argawinata is most likely still Shin Tae Yong’s first choice.
Then Fachrudin Aryanto, Elkan Baggott, and Alfeandra Dewangga are also still the best package to fill the position of 3 central defenders of the Indonesian national team against Singapore.
Meanwhile, the positions of Asnawi Mangkualam and Pratama Arhan may be difficult to shift from the position of right and left back for the Indonesian national team.
Then, Rachmat Irianto is also predicted to continue to be trusted as a catalyst in the Indonesian national team’s midfield.
Meanwhile, Ricky Kambuaya will continue to be the motor of attack and be a bridge in flowing the ball from the back line to the front.
Following the absence of Ramai Rumakiek due to card accumulation and Egy Maulana Vikri who had just arrived in Singapore, the front line of the Indonesian national team will then be filled with Witan Sulaeman, Ezra Walian, and Irfan Jaya.
On the other hand, it is certain that the Singaporean national team will not be reinforced by left-back, Shakir Hamzah, who suffered a ligament injury in his right knee when the Lions were defeated by Thailand in the last match of Group A of the AFF Cup, Saturday (18/12). Hamzah’s role will likely be replaced by Zulfahmi Arifin.
In addition, Singapore is also still without midfielder Gabriel Quak who is injured.
The rest, the Singaporean national team will field mainstay players such as Hassan Sunny (goalkeeper), Harris Harun (center), and Ikhsan Fandi (front).
Predicted Lineup of Indonesia vs Singapore in the AFF Cup
Indonesia XI: Nadeo; Asnawi, Fachrudin, Baggott, Dewangga, Arhan; Rachmat, Ricky; Irfan, Ezra, Witan.
Singapore XI: Hassan; Zulfahmi, Zulqarnaen, Irfan, Safuwan Baharudin; Shahdan, Hariss, Hami; Faris, Ikhsan, Shawal.
