This match features two teams living in the basement of the Liga 1, Semen Padang holding 17th place and Persija lying 14th. A good chance for both teams to improve their position.
Persija could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a Liga 1 game only four sleeps ago.
Everyone involved with the away team has to get their travel gear ready for this match as there's a whopping 1300 kilometers to cover before arriving at the match.
Semen Padang form and stats
Semen Padang's struggle is real here at Stadion GOR Haji Agus Salim with only 11 points collected from 13 Liga 1 games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 3-2-8. The Semen Padang manager Eduardo Almeida might feel some added pressure to get something from this game after two straight home defeats.
Semen Padang manager Eduardo Almeida and his team return home after a 2-2 draw away versus Bhayangkara (placed 10th) in the Liga 1. Prior to that, an away loss at Arema.
