Getting closer to the top teams is at stake when these two mid-table clubs battle it out. Both will be aiming to improve their league table standing, Bhayangkara in 7th and Persija in 11th place.
Bhayangkara and Persija should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.
There's local pride at stake here, as these teams are practically neighbours. Expect lots of passion from both players and supporters.
Bhayangkara form and stats
4 victories, 7 draws and 4 defeats. That’s what Bhayangkara have to build on here at Patriot Chandrabhaga Stadium in the Liga 1.
Bhayangkara's previous game was a Liga 1 match also played at home, ending 1-0 versus Arema (placed 5th). The home side are looking to build on that result. In the game before, an away victory match versus Madura United with a 2-1 scoreline.
Bhayangkara are traveling soon after this match as the Liga 1 match at Persebaya Surabaya awaits in four days.
Bhayangkara are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 16 goals in 15 games. Bhayangkara's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 16 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
Persija form and stats
There's been little loot from Persija's travels as they have only collected 10 points from 14 away games in the Liga 1. Persija only have 1 win to counter their 6 defeats and 7 draws. Persija has drawn their two previous away games.
The supporters enjoyed Persija's previous game versus Persipura (placed 4th), a Liga 1 1-0 win played at home. Before that, Persija travelled to Arema and returned home with a draw after the game finished 1-1.
Persija has another fixture away, a Liga 1 game, against Perseru Serui in just four days. A tough schedule for the visitors!
The attacking power of Persija when travelling is not overwhelming with 12 goals scored from 14 league matches away. Persija have conceded 20 goals in these away matches.
