Nepal is playing in the third round of the AFC Asian Cup against Indonesia. After losing two games in a row in Group A, Nepal's chances of reaching the Asian Cup are very slim.
The match between Nepal and Indonesia will be played tonight at 1 am (Nepali time) at the Jaber Al-Ahmad International Stadium, Kuwait.
Indonesia lost to Kuwait in the first match and lost to Jordan in the second match. For Indonesia, the result against Nepal could be crucial in qualifying for the Asian Cup. Jordan, who have won two games in a row, tops the list with six points, followed by Indonesia and Kuwait with three points each.
The team that wins the group stage from the third round will be directly selected in next year's Asia Cup. The top five runners-up will also be selected in the Asia Cup. Therefore, all the other three teams except Nepal are aiming to add as many points as possible.
Indonesia is like a new rival for Nepal. So far, Nepal has played only one match against Indonesia. Nepal had played a friendly match against Indonesia and had lost the match 2-0 in Malang. In the competitive match, Nepal will play Indonesia for the first time.
