Indonesia host Thailand in the FIFA ASEAN Cup on Monday 5 October 2026, and these predicted lineups lean heavily on how settled – or unsettled – each camp has looked across its most recent matches. Indonesia arrive with a side that has barely changed from game to game, while Thailand’s selections have shifted more often, giving this preview a clear contrast to track before kickoff.
Indonesia Predicted Lineup
Indonesia are projected in a 3-4-3, which lines up with John Herdman’s preferred formation rather than anything forced by circumstance. The side looks largely settled, with 9 of the projected XI starting their last match, a sign that Herdman has found a group he trusts. Maarten Paes stands out as the exception in goal, with only two starts in the last three games and no appearance in the most recent one, while further forward Ivar Jenner has started just once of the three matches used here despite being pencilled into this XI. Everywhere else the picture is remarkably consistent, with several outfield players having started all three games considered.
Indonesia predicted XI: Maarten Paes; Kevin Diks, Elkan Baggott, Justin Hubner; Joey Pelupessy, Calvin Verdonk, Luke Vickery, Ivar Jenner; Ole Romeny, Ragnar Oratmangoen, Mitchell Lee Baker
| Line | # | Player | Starts in last 3 | Last 3 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| G | 12 | Maarten Paes | 2/3 | 2/3 |
| D | 2 | Kevin Diks | 3/3 | 3/3 |
| D | 20 | Elkan Baggott | 3/3 | 3/3 |
| D | 23 | Justin Hubner | 3/3 | 3/3 |
| M | 14 | Joey Pelupessy | 3/3 | 3/3 |
| M | 17 | Calvin Verdonk | 3/3 | 3/3 |
| M | 8 | Luke Vickery | 2/3 | 2/3 |
| M | 18 | Ivar Jenner | 1/3 | 1/3 |
| F | 10 | Ole Romeny | 3/3 | 3/3 |
| F | 11 | Ragnar Oratmangoen | 3/3 | 3/3 |
| F | 9 | Mitchell Lee Baker | 2/3 | 2/3 |
Thailand Predicted Lineup
Thailand’s expected XI sits in a 4-2-3-1, again matching Anthony Hudson’s own preferred setup for the team. It, too, qualifies as largely settled, with 7 of the projected XI starting their last match, though the underlying sample is thinner than Indonesia’s. Goalkeeper Kampol Pathomakkakul is projected despite only one start across the three matches used, and the same is true further up the pitch for Supachok Sarachart, who also has just a single start in that span. Those two aside, most of the rest of the side have started at least twice recently, which is why the shape still reads as the likely one.
Thailand predicted XI: Kampol Pathomakkakul; Kritsada Kaman, Chaiyaphon Otton, Nattapong Sayriya, Manuel Bihr; Peeradol Chamrasamee, Sarach Yooyen, Suphanan Bureerat, Supachok Sarachart, Anan Yodsangwal; Jude Soonsup-Bell
| Line | # | Player | Starts in last 3 | Last 3 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| G | 23 | Kampol Pathomakkakul | 1/3 | 1/3 |
| D | 15 | Kritsada Kaman | 3/3 | 3/3 |
| D | 3 | Chaiyaphon Otton | 2/3 | 2/3 |
| D | 2 | Nattapong Sayriya | 2/3 | 2/3 |
| D | 4 | Manuel Bihr | 2/3 | 2/3 |
| M | 8 | Peeradol Chamrasamee | 2/3 | 2/3 |
| M | 6 | Sarach Yooyen | 2/3 | 2/3 |
| M | 21 | Suphanan Bureerat | 2/3 | 2/3 |
| M | 10 | Supachok Sarachart | 1/3 | 1/3 |
| M | 11 | Anan Yodsangwal | 1/3 | 1/3 |
| F | 17 | Jude Soonsup-Bell | 2/3 | 2/3 |
Team News: Who Is Out
On the home side, no absentees are recorded in the data, so Indonesia’s projected XI is drawn from a squad with no reported fitness or disciplinary issues to work around. With everyone available, Dean Ruben James, who has started twice across the recent matches used here, looks the player best placed to come into the side if Herdman rings the changes from the bench.
For Thailand, Jonathan Khemdee is out injured, which thins the defensive options available to Hudson for this trip. Kakana Khamyok, with two starts in the matches considered, is the bench option best placed to step into the backline in his absence.
| Player | Pos | Status | Reason |
|---|---|---|---|
| Jonathan Khemdee | D | injured | Cruciate Ligament Rupture |
How These Line-ups Were Picked
Each predicted lineup here was built from the last three matches for that team, with more recent matches weighted more heavily than older ones when working out who is likely to start. Any player confirmed injured or suspended was removed from contention before the XI was assembled. This is a projection, not a confirmed team sheet, and it can and will change once the official line-up is announced closer to kickoff.
