Arema form and stats

5-1-5 (win-draw-lost) are the Liga 1 numbers at home for Arema so far this season.

The fans are hoping that Arema will strike back in this fixture, putting things right after the 0-1 away loss in the game against Persib (placed 2nd).

Ahead of that match, Arema won a home game hosting Barito Putera (1-0).

This is expected to be a close game, with Arema perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Arema as a small favourite), we find 5 games. Arema has won 2 of these, drawn 1 and lost 2.

It should be taken into account that a peek at the 11 latest league matches reveals that 10 of them qualified as a both teams not to score result (only one or none of the sides scored a goal).

Arema are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 14 goals in 11 games. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. Arema have conceded 13 in these home matches.

Persik Kediri form and stats

There's been little loot from Persik Kediri's travels as they have only collected 8 points from 13 away games in the Liga 1. Persik Kediri only have 1 win to counter their 7 defeats and 5 draws. The pressure to perform on the road is increasing on da Silva, the Persik Kediri manager, as the last three away games were defeats.

Impressive finishing from Chand, da Silva, Silva and Khanafi (2) secured the home win 5-1 against RANS Nusantara in their previous game. Those three points felt sweet as this club had gone five league rounds without winning. As mentioned above, Persik was the only team on the pitch versus RANS Nusantara in their previous game, winning 5-1. This could be a tougher task.

Prior to that match, the Persik Kediri manager da Silva faced defeat when travelling to PSM and losing 1-2.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Persik Kediri playing away and similar expectations, we found 9 relevant matches. Results were 1 Persik Kediri win, 4 draws and 4 defeats.

Both teams to score? This side's latest fixtures suggest that, having played 5 league games in a row with one or more goals from each side.

A new game in only four days for Persik Kediri, the Liga 1 home match versus Barito Putera. Busy days.
