Iraq and Indonesia will face off in the AFC Asian Cup qualifiers Tuesday.
Iraq sits in third place in Group C with three points in four matches. The team has a record of one win and three draws, with two goals scored and five conceded. The team defeated Indonesia 1-0 at home, but followed the victory up with a 1-0 loss against China; the Chinese scored the goal in the third minute of stoppage in the second half. Iraq was subsequently defeated 2-0 and 2-1 by Saudi Arabia in the ensuing games.
Indonesia's campaign started with a 1-0 loss against Iraq and a 2-1 loss against Saudi Arabia at home. The team then managed a shocking 1-1 draw with China but was defeated 1-0 by the same team in the ensuing game. Indonesia sits in fourth place in the group with one point in four games. The team has yet to win a single game and has only managed a draw and three losses, with two goals scored and five conceded.
Indonesia can no longer finish in the top two spots and will look to compete with the top third place sides. A draw will keep the team's hopes alive, but a loss will eliminate it altogether. Iraq must win in order to remain in the race for second place. A draw combined with a Chinese win or tie against Saudi Arabia will eliminate Iraq from a top two spot.
Prediction: Iraq wins 2-0.
