The home fans are expecting three points in this fixture, as the home advantage should be put to good use versus a struggling visitor. Persija are in the 12th position while the guests worry at 17th.
There haven't been much time to rest for the hosts, as they played a Liga 1 match only four days ago. This match was also played here at Gelora Bung Karno Stadium. With two consecutive home games the intense schedule is somewhat softened. Still, Persela have had more rest.
Persija form and stats
6-4-3 (win-draw-lost) are the Liga 1 numbers at home for Persija so far this season. The opportunity of a proper winning streak is there for the hosts, with two straight wins here at Gelora Bung Karno Stadium.
The Persija supporters enjoyed the previous match, watching their team host Borneo in Liga 1 and win 4-2. 2-2 away at Semen Padang before that.
A goal frenzy last time out for Persija, with a total of 6 goals in the match against Borneo. Fun stuff to watch! M. Šimić was absolutely essential when Persija beat Borneo 4-2, scoring 4 goals.
Persija are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 18 goals in 13 attempts. From these home matches, Persija have conceded only 11 goals.
Persela form and stats
There's been little loot from Persela's travels as they have only collected 4 points from 13 away games in the Liga 1. Persela only have 0 wins to counter their 9 defeats and 4 draws.

Persela's last game was the home draw against Barito Putera (0-0). Ahead of that match was the away draw versus Bali United that ended 1-1.
The visitors have scored 10 goals from 13 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. Persela have conceded 24 goals in these games.
