JAKARTA - Week 11 of Liga 1 2023/2024 will present a big match full of prestige between Persija Jakarta vs Persib Bandung. The tension of the two teams always grabs the attention of their respective supporters, but this does not apply according to Persib Bandung coach Bojan Hodak.

The Croatian coach knows very well the history of the rivalry between the two teams, but in his eyes the match that will be held at Patriot Chandrabhaga Stadium, Bekasi on Saturday 2 September afternoon is like matches with other teams.

"We know tomorrow is a big match. Derby, the interest is obviously high because this match is certainly seen by many people. But for me tomorrow's match is an ordinary match, like any other match," said Bojan Hodak in a press conference at the Aston Hotel, Bekasi on Wednesday, September 1 night WIB.

Although he said tomorrow's match was an ordinary match, Bojan Hodak still had a high target for his team. Moreover, he knows very well about the statistics of Persija Jakarta which is not yet in the best form.

"This moment is actually an important point for the coach, where the opponent's weakness will be used as a lesson for Maung Bandung before meeting. "We still have a target (against Persija) is clearly the best," said Bojan Hodak.

"Moreover, we know that from several matches, Persija has not shown a top performance. They are not good at finishing and defense. But that is something for us to learn before meeting them," continued the coach.

Until the 11th week of Persija Jakarta, they were still stuck in 13th position in the standings with 13 points. Of the last five matches, Thomas Doll's team have only won once, drew once and lost the rest.

Meanwhile in Persib Bandung, luck is more in favor of Maung Bandung, which is one level above Persija on the standings board. Even from the match record, Persib is quite superior to Persija.

Of the five matches that have been played in Liga 1 2023/2024, Persib is indeed twice, drew twice and has only lost once.
