Bhayangkara will hope to utilise their home advantage to help bridge the gap to today’s opponents. The home side are currently 4 points behind Arema.
There has not been much time to rest for the guests, as they played a Liga 1 game only four days ago.
Bhayangkara form and stats
Bhayangkara have collected 16 points from their Liga 1 home games so far after 3-7-4.
Happy days for Bhayangkara in their previous game, a Liga 1 match away at Madura United (placed 3rd) that ended with a 2-1 victory. A strong away win before that one, visiting Persipura and winning 3-1.
Bhayangkara are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 15 goals in 14 games. On the other hand, Bhayangkara have conceded 16 goals.
Arema form and stats
There's been little loot from Arema's travels as they have only collected 6 points from 13 away games in the Liga 1. Arema, who have the most scored goals (53) in Liga 1, only have 1 win to counter their 9 defeats and 3 draws. Travelling has not been lucrative for the away team as they have returned home without a win in ten away games in a row.
Arema delivered a 1-1 draw playing at home against Persija (placed 12th) in their previous match; a Liga 1 game. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Persib wasn't a success with a 0-3 loss.
A quick return to home after this game, as Arema are hosting Kalteng Putra in the Liga 1 only four days away.
Arema are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 15 away goals from 13 games (in the league). For Arema, more than two goals on average per game end up in their own net.
Head 2 Head
The dueling parties have met before this season: Arema - Bhayangkara 3-2. Head-2-head stats last seven meetings: 1 - 2 - 4 (Bhayangkara wins - draws - Arema wins). As for goals, 4 matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), 3 had two or less.Top Goalscorers
