Persija Jakarta vs Bhayangkara United
Persija Jakarta will return to Indonesia League 1 after appearing in the final Indonesian Cup. Their return will be welcomed by Bhayangkara FC, scheduled to be hosted on Saturday (8/10) at the Patriot Stadium.
Tiger Kemayoran travels to the PSM Makassar headquarters on Tuesday (6/8) with a 1-0 advantage in the first leg of the Indonesian Cup final. However, they have to give up the trophy in the hands of the 2-0 winners through the actions of Aaron Evans (3 ‘) and Zulham Zamrun (49’) in this match.
The four-day pause must be maximized by Persija Jakarta to move on from that failure, especially if they are still scattered in 17th League 1. The role of the host in tomorrow’s game will provide an opportunity to achieve positive results because they have never lost this season with a score 1-0, 1-1, and 2-2 against PSS Sleman, Persib Bandung and Arema FC.
From the next side, Bhayangkara FC are also still disappointed with the results of their last fight when they were held to a draw at Madura Utd in the Athletics Madya; Indra Kahfi Ardhiyasa’s opening goal on 43 minutes was successfully chased by Jaimerson Xavier on 77 minutes so that they are now stuck at number 7.
Going to the Persija Jakarta headquarters has added to the pressure after contributing 1-1, 1-0 and 1-0 scores over the past three seasons, while this season they appear inconsistent in away matches with 2 wins, 2 draws and 3 defeats , and received 2 red cards. With a trend like this, it’s likely they will return home empty-handed.
Our Prediction: 1
