Guinea U-23, Indonesia’s next opponent, also experienced the same path. They struggled at the U-23 Africa Cup of Nations, although in the end they failed and had to finish in fourth place.
Well, one ticket to the Olympics is also provided via the play-off route, namely for Asian representatives and African representatives. This time, Indonesia U-23 and Guinea U-23 will clash, these two teams both finished in fourth place in the regional tournament.
The Indonesia U-23 vs Guinea U-23 National Team prediction is going to be difficult for Shin Tae-yong’s troops. The players still have to recover mentally after failing in the U-23 Asian Cup, not to mention having to undergo physical recovery after the long journey from Qatar to France.

Indonesia vs Guinea prediction
Guinea prepared themselves quite well ahead of the duel against Indonesia. Kaba Diawara, who is the senior team coach, was appointed to coach Guinea U-23.
Meanwhile, Guinea also called up several players who already have caps at senior level. Apart from Ilaix Moriba, there are the names Saidou Sow and Aguibou Camara who are Guinean players at senior level.
The Indonesian U-23 national team lost physically and in experience, but that doesn’t mean they couldn’t fight back. Indonesia is predicted to play defensively and wait for an opportunity to counterattack. So, the key to Indonesia’s game is in the midfield.
Rafael Struick’s ability to hold the ball and open up space is also very important in the predictions for the Indonesia U-23 vs Guinea U-23 National Team. Even though they lost physically, Indonesia as an Asian team is known to be persistent.
