This match features two teams living in the basement of the Liga 2, Madura holding 8th place and PSBS Biak Numfor lying 9th. A good chance for both teams to improve their position.

It's no vacation for neither Madura nor PSBS Biak Numfor as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

PSBS Biak Numfor have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 3100 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
