Indonesia vs Laos: Can the Garuda Soar Past the Laotian Tigers? (12/12/2024)

Indonesia will host Laos at Manahan Stadium in Surakarta on Thursday, aiming for their second consecutive win in the 2024 ASEAN Championship.
Indonesia's Garuda team kicked off their campaign with a narrow 1-0 victory over Myanmar. A crucial own goal by Zin Nyi Nyi Aung in the 77th minute sealed the deal for the Indonesians in Yangon.
This win marks their second consecutive victory in official matches. Shin Tae-yong's side had previously defeated Saudi Arabia in their final 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifier last month.
Bounphachan Bounkong scored a late penalty for the hosts, but it wasn't enough to prevent a sound defeat. The Million Elephants' winless streak now extends to six games.

H2H
Indonesia has dominated their head-to-head record against Laos, winning nine of their ten encounters. The only blemish on their record was a 2-2 draw in 2012.
In their recent form, Indonesia has secured two consecutive victories with clean sheets, while Laos has suffered two heavy defeats.



Indonesia vs Laos Prediction
The Garuda Team may not be a formidable force, but they’ve recently shown some impressive form and look sharp at the moment. Their solid defensive performances have been particularly noteworthy, and they’ll likely rely on this strength to shut out their struggling opponents. We anticipate Indonesia to secure two wins from two matches at the ASEAN showpiece.
