JAKARTA - Liga 1 2023/2024 will present a match between Bhayangkara FC vs PSIS Semarang in the 18th week on Thursday, November 2. Taking place at Patriot Chandrabhaga Stadium, Bekasi at 19.00 WIB, the fresh air sided with the visitors, PSIS.

Ahead of this match, Laskar Mahesa Jenar had an easy chance of winning considering that the host, Bhayangkara, was in a less conducive situation. The Guardians are still only collecting 7 points and are the bottom occupants of the standings, and must struggle to escape the relegation zone.

Bhayangkara FC's efforts to improve their position will again face challenges, because they have to host PSIS who are in their best form. So far, The Guardians have never won in the last 12 matches in the domestic league.

One of Bhayangkara FC's defeats was received from Persis Solo last week. This note adds to the pressure because the mission of The Guardians is not only to break the negative trend, this club made by Emral Abus needs a lot of additional points to stay away from the red zone.

Currently, Bhayangkara FC is in 18th position in the standings, it still takes 11 points to enter the safe zone from relegation. The only way to boost Bhayangkara's position is to wipe out the remaining matches in Liga 1, including against PSIS.

On the other hand, PSIS' confidence is peaking. In the last match, Mahesa Jenar was able to beat Persija Jakarta 2-1. This result will be a supply of enthusiasm, especially since PSIS also has ambitions to approach the top of the League 1 standings.

If they are able to beat Bhayangkara FC in this match, PSIS has the opportunity to enliven the competition at the top of the standings. They are now ranked 5th with 30 points which are 5 points adrift of the leader of the standings, Borneo FC.

In order to win, PSIS Semarang is likely to bring a number of mainstay players such as Carlos Fortes and Taisei Marukawa. However, Vitinho and Luthfi Kamal will not be included due to a hamstring injury.
