Persija form and stats

Persija's results here in the Liga 1 have been very modest with 3 victories, 4 draws and 8 defeats. Game days have recently become somewhat of a nightmare for Persija as they have lost three home games in a row. It hurts.

The Persija club members got no joy from their last match, also played here: A 1-3 defeat against Madura United (placed 10th).

In the game before, an away victory match versus PS TNI with a 4-0 scoreline.

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

The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Persija here in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (12 from 15 games). 19 goals have been conceded.

PSM form and stats

3-7-5 is the win-draw-loss statistic for PSM in their Liga 1 matches away. Visiting PSM has seen their last two away games both end with a tied score and one point each.

PSM's last game was the home draw against Persela (2-2).

Before that, PSM travelled to Persipura and returned home with a draw after the game finished 0-0.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with PSM playing away and similar expectations, we found 15 relevant matches. Results were two PSM wins, five draws and eight defeats.

A quick return to home after this game, as PSM are hosting Persiraja Banda Aceh in the Liga 1 only four days away.
