Though deep in unchartered territory in the remote Central Asian Republic with a boisterous crowd and a pot-holed pitch awaiting at Bishkek's Dolen Omurzakov Stadium, Jedinak is adamant the Socceroos have done their homework and won't be embarrassed by a team ranked 113 places below Australia in FIFA's pecking order.
Coach Ange Postecoglou has force fed his squad a steady diet of videos to lift the veil of inscrutability which surrounds a little-known team coming off a 3-1 win in Bangladesh in its opening game of a FIFA World Cup qualification bid few expect will reach any dizzying heights.
To some of the locals the Australians appear equally mysterious – judging at least by the pre-game press conference where Jedinak was first addressed as 'Mike' by one reporter and then 'Mile' (as in the distance) by the same scribe before an exasperated Postecoglou interjected with the correct pronunciation, 'it's Mil-ay'.
Unperturbed, Jedinak, like any true professional, ploughed on.
"We have analysed and researched the opposition and we know it will be a difficult task and we have prepared ourselves for the challenge that lies ahead," he said.
"You always want to start off with a win and hopefully that will be enough to bring us three points.
"Over the last 18 months we've faced some difficult challenges in some difficult places in tough conditions and as a group we have grown but we are still growing. And now we have to be up for this challenge."
Postecoglou admitted that the state of the playing surface, which a team of groundsman continued to work on feverishly on Monday, would inevitably negate some of the geometric passing patterns his side is fast becoming renowned for.
"I haven't seen it personally yet but we've had some people out to have a look at it and the players will train on it this afternoon," he said. "If you ask will it affect how we pay our football ... of course it will.
"We like to play our game on the deck and move the ball around but this is just another challenge for us and from our perspective the surface may be an inhibitor to the sort of spectacle we'd like to put on.
"But it won't stop us from performing well and getting the result we need – we just have to deal what's in front of us and the players are ready for whatever is thrown before them, whether that's the conditions or the opposition.
"We've worked hard the last 18 months to make sure we have a group who can tackle these things to their best of their ability."
Postecoglou's counterpart, Aleksandr Krestinin, a 36-year-old not lacking in confidence or belief, is on a giant-slaying mission but fears it may be a bridge too far.
"We always try to win and show our best but we know that we are playing against the Asian champion and we will have produce something special," he said.
"We lack some experience in international games and when we play against big teams like China and Australia it's an opportunity for us because we lack these types of games.
"There may be some nerves from the players in the first few minutes but they won't last long and will be okay."
