At 21:45 on June 5, the World Cup 18 match between the Chinese team and Indonesia will be about to begin. This round of the match is the 9th round of the group stage. Although the Chinese team is only ranked 6th in the group standings, it still retains the hope of advancing to the playoffs.

According to relevant rules, only the teams ranked in the top 4 in the group can advance to the fourth stage of the World Cup play-offs. If the Chinese team wants to advance to the playoffs, they must surpass two of the three teams, namely Saudi Arabia, Indonesia and Bahrain.

Judging from the overall strength of each team and the subsequent schedule of the game, the possibility of the Chinese team surpassing Bahrain is relatively greater. The main problem is how to surpass one of the Indonesian team and Saudi Arabia team. Both teams lead the Chinese team with points. Saudi Arabia will not meet the Chinese team in the last two rounds of the game. Therefore, the possibility of the Chinese team surpassing the Indonesian team is relatively greater. After all, the next round of the game will be directly confronted.

If the Chinese team defeats Indonesia in the game on June 5, the two teams will have the same points, and the Chinese team has relatively fewer goals, but in the last round, the Indonesian team will face the Japanese team. If the Chinese team defeats Bahrain in the last round and the Indonesian team does not defeat Japan away, then the Chinese team can advance to the playoffs.

If the Chinese team beat Indonesia with more than 3 goals in the game on June 5 and overtakes the goal difference, then even if the Indonesian team defeats Japan in the last round, as long as the Chinese team defeats Bahrain with the same score advantage, they can eventually advance to the playoffs through the goal difference.

If the Chinese team draws against the Indonesian team, will there still be a chance to advance to the playoffs?

If the Chinese team tied with Indonesia in the game on June 5, then the Indonesian team's points will be 10 points and the goal difference will be -6. The Chinese team's points are 7 points, and the goal difference is -13, which is 3 points less than the Indonesian team, and the goal difference is 7 less than the Indonesian team, and the total number of goals is 2 less than the Indonesian team.

The Indonesian team lost 0-4 to the Japanese team at home

Then in the last round of the game, unless the Chinese team defeated Bahrain 4-0 at home, and the Indonesian team lost 0-3 away to the Japanese team, the Chinese team could not advance to the playoffs. In short, the total goal difference between the two games must reach 7, so that the Chinese team can surpass the Indonesian team by virtue of the total number of goals and the winning and losing relationship.

Of course, this is just a theoretical possibility. First of all, the Chinese team does not have the absolute strength to defeat Bahrain with a big score, and the Japanese team has already advanced to the World Cup ahead of schedule, and their expectations for victory in the game are not that high, and it is very likely that a large number of substitutes will be sent to play against the Indonesian team.

So if the Chinese team wants to take the initiative to advance to the playoffs, they must strive to defeat the Indonesian team away, and the bigger the score difference, the better. After all, one goal in the two teams faced each other head-on is equivalent to the two goal difference gap between the two teams.
