Round of 16 action in the 2023 AFC Asian Cup will kick off with Indonesia taking on former champions Australia for a quarter-final place on Sunday at Jassim Bin Hamad Stadium.
The Socceroos have largely flattered to deceive in the group stages, looking wasteful in front of goal as they struggled to break down low blocks, yet they did enough to secure two wins and a draw to top Group B ahead of Uzbekistan.
Indonesia, meanwhile, suffered losses to both Iraq and Japan, but their 1-0 win over Vietnam was enough to secure them a berth in the knockout round as one of the best third-placed teams. It's still a fantastic achievement for Team Garuda, who are making their first appearance at the tournament finals since 2007.

Team news & squads
Australia team news
Australia will remain without the services of striker Mitch Duke, who is recovering from a hamstring issue. Kusini Yengi was picked to start in his place in the final group game against Uzbekistan, and he helped win a controversial spot-kick in the first half.
To address Australia's offensive issues, Graham Arnold could reinstate Jordan Bos to his preferred position of left back and bring back Craig Goodwin to the starting lineup at left flank - the seasoned winger has not featured since being replaced against India in the tournament opener.
Australia possible XI: Ryan; Jones, Souttar, Rowles, Behich; Metcalfe, O'Neill, Irvine; Boyle, Yengi, Goodwin
| Position | Players |
|---|---|
| Goalkeepers: | Ryan, Thomas, Gauci |
| Defenders: | Deng, Atkinson, Rowles, Bos, Behic, Souttar, Miller, Burgess, Jones |
| Midfielders: | Metcalfe, O'Neill, McGree, Baccus, Irvine, Yazbek |
| Forwards: | Boyle, Silvera, Fornaroli, Yengi, Tilio, Duke, Goodwin, Iredale |
Indonesia team news
Indonesia have opted for a conservative 5-4-1 setup during the group stage, something they will likely stick to again especially given Australia's struggles in breaking down the compact low block.
Goalkeeper Ernando Sutaryadi was brilliant in the victory over Vietnam and the defeat to Japan despite shipping three goals, as was 19-year-old wonderkid Marselino Ferdinan, who scored in the loss to Iraq and has played on both the flanks and in central midfield so far this tournament.
Indonesia possible XI: Ari; Walsh, Ridho, Baggott, Hubner, Arhan; Sulaeman, Jenner, Ferdinan, Kambuaya; Struick
| Position | Players |
|---|---|
| Goalkeepers: | Riyandi, Ari, Argawinata |
| Defenders: | Baggott, Amat, Ridho, Walsh, Arhan, Febriansah, Mangkualam, Prasetyo, Pattynama, Hubner |
| Midfielders: | Sayuri, Ferdinan, Sulaeman, Maulana, Kambuaya, Alis, Klok, Jenner |
| Forwards: | Drajad, Struick, Caraka, Sananta, Sulistyawan |
