------------------------------
The ASEAN U-23 Championship 2025 (Mandiri Cup) Group A Matchday 1 clash between Indonesia U23 and Brunei Darussalam U23 is scheduled for July 15, 2025, at 20:00 WIB (13:00 UTC) at Stadion Utama Gelora Bung Karno, Jakarta, Indonesia. As tournament hosts, Indonesia U23, coached by Gerald Vanenburg, aim to kick off with a strong performance, while Brunei Darussalam U23, under Ameer Aziz Hakim, seek to defy expectations despite recent struggles.
Indonesia U23 Review
Indonesia U23, ranked 1st in Group A (pre-tournament seeding), are led by Gerald Vanenburg, making his competitive debut as head coach. Their 4-3-3 formation features Muhammad Ferarri (center-back, Bhayangkara Persisi), Hokky Caraka, and Jens Raven. Indonesia, runners-up in 2023 and champions in 2019, have a strong tournament pedigree, reaching the AFC U-23 Asian Cup in 2024. Recent form includes a 4-1 loss to Vietnam U23 (AFF U-23 2023, August 24, 2023) and a 1-0 win over Thailand U23 (AFC U-23 Qualifiers, September 12, 2023). In their last five matches, they’ve won 1, drawn 1, lost 3, averaging 1.4 goals scored and 1.6 conceded per match, with a 75% Asian Handicap win rate and 50% over 2.5 goals. No major injuries reported. Probable XI: Cahya Supriadi; Kakang Rudianto, Ferarri, Kadek Arel, Dony Tri Pamungkas; Arkhan Fikri, Roby Darwis, Rayhan Hannan; Victor Dethan, Hokky Caraka, Jens Raven. Recent form: WLDLL
Brunei Darussalam U23 Review
Brunei Darussalam U23, ranked 3rd in Group A (pre-tournament seeding), are coached by Ameer Aziz Hakim. Their 5-4-1 formation relies on Bazli Aminuddin (striker) and Hisyam Norihwan (goalkeeper). Brunei have struggled in recent AFF U-23 tournaments, exiting at the group stage in 2022 and 2023, and recent friendlies saw heavy losses: 5-1 to Kuching City FC, 4-1 to DPMM FC (featuring Indonesia’s Ramadhan Sananta), and an unspecified loss to KB All Stars FC. In their last five matches, they’ve won 0, drawn 1, lost 4, averaging 0.8 goals scored and 3.2 conceded per match, with a 20% Asian Handicap win rate and 80% over 2.5 goals. No injuries reported. Probable XI: Hisyam Norihwan; Azrin Danial, Wafio Danish, Hafiy Herman, Danish Firdaus, Nazry Aiman; Ali Munawwar, Syafiq Hilmi, Shad Maymoun, Hadi Aiman; Bazli Aminuddin. Recent form: LLLLD
Head to Head
Indonesia U23 and Brunei Darussalam U23 have met twice in competitive matches since 2023:
September 9, 2023 (AFC U-23 Qualifiers): Indonesia 9-0 Brunei.
October 12, 2023 (World Cup Qualifiers, senior level): Indonesia 6-0 Brunei (not U-23 but indicative of disparity). Average goals per match: 7.5, with 0% both teams to score (BTTS) and 100% over 2.5 goals. Indonesia’s Asian Handicap win rate: 100%; Brunei’s: 0%. Indonesia’s 9-0 rout in 2023 highlights their overwhelming dominance
Prediction: Indonesia U23 4-0 Brunei Darussalam U23
Indonesia U23, with home advantage and a potent attack (Ferarri, Caraka, Raven), are heavily favored against Brunei U23, whose defensive frailties (3.2 goals conceded per game) were exposed in friendlies. Indonesia’s 9-0 H2H win in 2023 and Brunei’s lack of competitive success (0 wins in 5) suggest a one-sided match. Vanenburg’s debut and Indonesia’s title ambitions fuel their drive for a big win to boost goal difference in Group A. Brunei’s 5-4-1 may delay goals, but their 80% over 2.5 goals trend and Indonesia’s 1.4 goals per game point to a high-scoring game. Bookmakers favor Indonesia (odds ~1.20, 80% win probability), with over 2.5 goals at 1.50 and no BTTS at 1.60.
