Madura United vs PSS Sleman
Madura United will host PSS Sleman in the Indonesian 1st League on Wednesday (07/31). Full points became the target for this Dejan Antonic army.
Madura United are determined to evict Bali United from second place and match the points of Tira-Persikabo from the top of League 1 Indonesia standings. Madura United is currently in third place with a collection of 20 points, 2 points adrift of Bali United in second place and 3 points from Tirakabo. To make it happen, a clear victory will be a mandatory target for Madura United when entertaining PSS Sleman in the middle of this week.
Madura United’s own appearance lately is quite powerful. The most recent, the Sape Kerrab troops finished off the Perseru Badak Lampung with a score of 5-1. This is the second biggest victory achieved by Madura United so far in League 1. Previously, Madura United also won with the same score when they visited Persela Lamongan headquarters on 17 May. The victory over the Lampung Rhino will also be a big capital for Madura United when they host PSS Sleman later.
On the other hand, PSS Sleman itself came with different conditions. PSS have not won in their last 3 matches in League 1 with a draw of 1 and 2 defeats. PSS conditions are also increasingly squeezed considering they will be without their two main defenders in Pamekasan later, namely Alfonso de la Cruz and Purwaka Yudi due to injury. One of their main attackers too, Haris Tuharea will also be absent due to card accumulation. With conditions like this it will be difficult for PSS Sleman to balance the power of Madura United.
The conditions of the two teams are quite inverse. Madura United will look at this match with full confidence and will also get full support from their own public, while PSS Sleman comes with a lame situation and also minus self-confidence. With this condition, it is not surprising if Madura United is quite seeded to win this fight.
