JAKARTA - Persib Bandung coach Bojan Hodak believes Persebaya players will be dangerous when attacking. This is because many of their players have the opportunity to score goals.

"Persebaya have good players and they will be dangerous when carrying out attacks, because not only Bruno or Ze can score goals, some players have chances too," said Bojan Hodak quoting Antara.

In addition, the Croatian coach thinks Persebaya has the advantage of playing at home and will definitely not give the defender a chance to pause for a moment.

"We know that Persebaya plays at home and they will play more aggressively, they will also not provide opportunities for our defenders and they will press ahead," he said.

However, he is trying to continue the positive trend his team has achieved in recent matches, and will surprise the match tomorrow.

"We will try to continue the positive results that we have made, of course we will also prepare tomorrow's match as a surprise for Persebaya," he said.

Meanwhile, Persib foreign player Nick Kuipers said the match against Persebaya was a game that both supporters had been waiting for and would be interesting.

"I think tomorrow is a very special match, of course, very much awaited by the two supporters how this match will take place tomorrow," he said.

Kuipers considers that Persebaya is a good team because it has quality players on each line.

"But we've also had several matches and got positive results especially when after we won against Persita, so we had good self-confidence," he said.

Therefore, he and his colleagues will try to continue the positive trend that has been undertaken to face the proud Arek-Arek Suroboyo club.

"We also had good momentum yesterday so of course we will continue what we have done," he said.

According to PT Liga Indonesia Baru (LIB) records, Persebaya is currently ranked 6th with 22 points from 14 matches.

Meanwhile, Persib is ranked 4th with 24 points from the same match.

Statistically, Persib is still ahead of Persebaya. Since 2018, the team from Kota Pahlawan has only won three times from ten matches.

Meanwhile, the team from Kembang City won five wins, the remaining two draws.
