Persija form and stats
Home games in the Liga 1 have been a walk in the park for Persija so far, with 36 points won from 14 matches; 11 wins, 3 draws and 0 losses. Persija has won so many consecutive home games (seven in a row) that they struggle to remember the last time points were lost here at Stadion Wibawa Mukti. We remember; it was Persebaya Surabaya.
Persija haven't scored a league goal since they found the net 270 minutes ago. Yama scored that one.
Persija lost their last game at Persik Kediri (after extra-time) (placed 15th) after a 0-2 scoreline.
Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Borneo (after extra-time) (1-3).The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier Persija matches with similar probabilities have ended with 4 wins, 4 draws and 1 defeat (from 9 games).
Persija have proved capable of finding the net in their games here at Stadion Wibawa Mukti with 26 goals in 14 league matches. From these home matches, Persija have conceded only 12 goals.
PSIS Semarang form and stats
PSIS Semarang have only collected 14 points from their away games in the Liga 1, after 4-2-8 (14 played). Three has not been a lucky number for Semarang as they have been defeated three times in a row since the Persita match.
PSIS Semarang have been frustrated by their lack of goals lately, as they haven't scored in the league since they found the net 229 minutes ago. Pangestu was the goal scorer.
PSIS Semarang play their second straight away game, having lost the previous one 1-6 to Borneo (after extra-time) (placed 4th). Semarang lost the plot completely in their previous game, as mentioned above. They need to recover quickly from that 1-6 beating and focus on this one.
The game before that, was lost at home, a 0-2 defeat against Madura United (after extra-time).Looking at the earlier recent performances of PSIS Semarang when being an outsider away as they are today, we find 7 matches with the visitors losing 2 times, drawing 3 and winning 2 games.
The attacking power of Semarang when travelling is not overwhelming with 13 goals scored from 14 league matches away. PSIS Semarang have conceded 20 goals in these away matches.

PSIS Semarang - Persija 2-0 was the scoreline in these sides' latest H2H match, earlier this season. Stats for the previous nine meetings featuring these two squads are: six wins for Persija, one draw and two wins for PSIS Semarang. Over 2,5 goals: six times; under 2,5 goals: three games.
