Indonesia's national football team is gearing up for a friendly match against Hong Kong on Tuesday.

The match will take place at the Wibawa Mukti sport stadium in the West Javan city of Cikarang, reports Xinhua news agency.

Interim Indonesia coach Bima Sakti said on Monday that his charges had meticulously planned for the international friendly.

"Hong Kong have some good players, which will give us an opportunity to determine which of our players should play more in future matches," he said.

Indonesia emerged victorious in their previous international friendly last Wednesday, defeating Myanmar 3-0.

Hong Kong head coach Gary White emphasized that his team would be going all-out to get a positive result against Indonesia, noting that Merah Putih had got a good result against Myanmar.

 

"We came here to win," the Englishman stressed, adding: "I am certain that the match against Indonesia will be good and competitive, and we are enthusiastic about it."

Hong Kong's most recent match ended in a 1-0 defeat against Thailand.
