National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Madura United or Persija that keep their silverware dream alive.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Madura United and Persija.
Madura United form and stats
Last season their President Cup adventure ended in the semi-finals against Persebaya Surabaya.Madura United's struggle is real here at Gelora Madura Ratu Pamelingan Stadium with only 17 points collected from 17 Liga 1 games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 4-5-8.
The Madura United manager Lefundes and his team return home after a 1-1 draw away versus Barito Putera in the President Cup.
The Madura fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 23 in 17 matches. Madura United have conceded 27 from these games.
Persija form and stats
Last season their President Cup adventure ended in the quarter-finals.7 wins, 8 draws and 2 losses. That’s the product of Persija playing as the away team in the Liga 1 this season.
This fixture can not go any worse than the previous one, a President Cup home loss versus Borneo with 1-2 on the scoreboard.
Persija are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 28 times in 17 away games so far. 18 goals have been conceded by Persija in these games.
Head 2 Head
Stats for the last nine meetings between these two participants are: two wins for Madura United, four draws and three wins for Persija. Over 2,5 goals: five times; under 2,5 goals: four games.
