Season ticket holders at Stadion Kaharudin Nasution Rumbai haven’t seen too many victories this season, with PSPS Riau languishing in the 11th position so far. The guesting BaBel United will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.
It's no vacation for neither PSPS Riau nor BaBel United 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.
