Barito Putera vs Madura United
Madura United will travel to Barito Putera’s headquarters in the second week of Indonesian League 1 on Friday (05/24). Madura United’s move to the city of Banjarmasin was haunted by a number of bad records.
The club, nicknamed Laskar Sape, is often overshadowed by a bad record. Since appearing in League 1, Madura United have always lost during their away matches held in the second week. In the second week of League 1 2017, Madura United lost 0-2 to Persela Lamongan at Surajaya Stadium. Then in the following season, Madura United lost 0-1 to PS Tira (now Tira Persikabo).
Despite failing to win points and score goals, the club from Garam Island has valuable capital to face this match. Previously, they won 5-1 over Persela Lamongan in the first week at Surajaya Stadium on Friday (5/17/2019). The victory could also be an injection of confidence for Madura United to stop this bad record.
Moreover, Barito Putera’s appearance in the first week was also not very good. Playing at home, entertaining Persija Jakarta, Barito Putera had to settle for sharing the numbers after drawing 1-1. These results make Barito Putera only able to win once in their last 5 matches in all competitions. One such victory was achieved when dealing with the second caste team, Persita Tangerang with a score of 3-1 on the Indonesian Cup stage.
Our Prediction: 2
