JAKARTA - Week 18 of Liga 1 2023/2024 will present a big match between PSM Makassar vs Persija Jakarta. The match will be held at BJ Habibie Stadium, Lompoe, on Friday, November 3 at 19.00 WIB.

During a visit to PSM Makassar headquarters, Persija was in bad condition following their last five unwinned matches. The Kemayoran Tigers lost their last two matches in a row and the rest drew.

This result makes Thomas Doll's team stuck in the rank of 13 interim calculus with a collection of 20 points. Meanwhile. PSM Makassar as the host is in the slightly superior position in 12th place with 22 points.

Although Persija are not in good condition, they have an advantage in head to head with PSM Makassar. In the last five meetings, Persija managed to outperform PSM by winning three times.

Meanwhile, PSM had to admit Persija's superiority by accepting three defeats and twice holding the capital team to a draw. Last season, the Kemayoran Tigers were able to hold Juku Eja 1-1 at Habibie Stadium, then they won 4-2 at the Patriot Stadium at Persija home. In the first round of this season Persija was strong with a 3-1 victory through goals from M. Konate. I. Jauhari and I. Cyptadi, even though PSM had won through Yance Sayuri.

In the record of domestic matches, PSM's position is also not too classy. Juku Eja only drew 1-1 in the last match against Rans Nusantara, one win and the remaining three were defeats. PSM Makassar this time is quite superior because of their status as hosts.

In addition, both teams are both hunting for victory in order to return to the top track. Persija appeared at home to the opponent with the hope of breaking the deadlock from the last few unsatisfactory matches.
