Re: FIFA World Cup 2026 :Canada/Mexico/United States: Discussion Thread
Indonesia vs Bahrain match will take place tomorrow and it is reported that Indonesian goalkeeper Maarten Paes has arrived there and has undergone joint training session, but there is no certainty whether he will really be included in the main squad for the match that will take place tomorrow.
What is clear in statement delivered by the coach shows that the medical team is still continuing to see how Maarten Paes injury recovery is progressing and for definite decision on how his condition will continue to defend Indonesia will be based on how his recovery is progressing, if possible and ready to play we can definitely see Maarten Paes on the field, this is something that fans really want.
I see the opportunities for Indonesia and Bahrain are almost equal which even the odds of both can be said to be quite high, I take two betting options in one slip and that is Double Chance draw or Indonesia also Over 1.5 and in this slip I get odds @2.19.

I really hope that Maarten Paes will be fine and will play as a starter in the match against Bahrain, although Shin Tae-yong still has goalkeepers such as Ernando Ari Sutaryadi, Nadeo Argawinata, who have their own qualities if Maarten Paes is really injured then that decision must be taken by Shin Tae-yong to play both goalkeepers, because it is impossible for Bahrain to penetrate the Indonesian defense guarded by Mees Hilgers, Jay Idzes, Rizky Ridho, or Jordi Amat who has just recovered from his injury, so playing Ernando Ari Sutaryadi is a good thing for Shin Tae-yong to do, If Maarten Paes is really injured and insists on playing Maarten Paes then the impact must be considered for the next match, because Indonesia will host China in the next match.
Final Score Prediction: 2 - 1
Victory for Indonesia
