It's advantage PSMS so far with their 2nd position in the Liga 2 table, welcoming Persita who are placed 5th.

It's no vacation for neither PSMS nor Persita 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.

Persita have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 2100 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

PSMS form and stats

3-0-1 (win-draw-lost) are the numbers at home for PSMS so far this season. There’s a good atmosphere here at Stadion Teladan after three straight home wins.

PSMS's last game was hosting Persita and winning 1-0. Ahead of that match, PSMS won a home game hosting Blitar United (3-1).

The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from PSMS's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played four games, won 4 matches, drawn 0 and lost 0.

A decent goal production from PSMS in their home games so far, with 7 goals from 4 matches. PSMS have conceded 4 in these home matches.

Persita form and stats

2 wins, 0 draws and 3 losses. That’s the product of Persita, who have the fewest conceded goals (3) in Liga 2, playing as the away team this season. With two straight losses from their last two away games, Persita are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.

Two away games in a row for Persita, who will hope to get a better result in this one after losing 0-1 versus PSMS in the Liga 2. A 0-1 defeat away at Persiraja Banda Aceh before that.

As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Persita playing away, we found three games. Results were 0 away wins, 0 draws and 3 home wins.

The attacking power of Persita when travelling is not overwhelming with 3 goals scored in 5 matches. It's not easy to score on Persita as they have only conceded 3 goals from these away games.

Head 2 Head

PSMS - Persita 1-0 was the story when these teams last met, earlier this season. As for the last seven games between these two teams, there's 2 PSMS victories, 3 draws and 2 Persita wins. 1 of these game ended with three goals or more, 6 matches with two goals or less.
