Indonesia will have the home advantage when they host Malaysia in their Group G World Cup/Asian Cup qualification opener on September 5, but the visitors need to come away with a win from the encounter, says Harimau Malaya team manager Datuk Wira Yusoff Mahadi.
According to Yusoff, although the clash between the two regional rivals is expected to be a tense one, Malaysia need to start their campaign well.
"They need to be mentally strong in Jakarta. We know how fiery it can get everytime we play there, and players who are not strong can be affected by the atmosphere.
