PSS Sleman Vs RANS Nusantara FC Preview: Javanese Super Elang Still Without Supporters
JAKARTA PSS Sleman certainly cannot get support from supporters when hosting RANS Nusantara FC in the 22nd week of Liga 1 Indonesia 2023/2024.
The fight between the two teams is scheduled to take place at Maguwoharjo Stadium, Sleman, Central Java, Friday, December 8, 2023, at 19.00 WIB.
PSS Sleman had to accept the harsh reality without spectators due to sanctions from the PSSI Disciplinary Committee. The sanction was given in the aftermath of chaos involving the audience and the organizing committee in the match against Bali United on November 3, 2023.
Without spectators, it was a crushing blow for the Javan eagle in the midst of efforts to rise from bad results in the last match against fellow Central Javanese team rivals, PSIS Semarang.
Pada laga itu PSS kalah melalui gol tunggal Carlos Fortes. Itu adalah kekalahan ketiga mereka dalam lima pertandingan terbaru.
Two other matches in that period, each ending in one win and one defeat.

The unsatisfactory series of results made PSS now occupy the 13th place in the standings. They are only five points ahead of Arema who are in the relegation zone.
The record is inversely proportional to RANS Nusantara. The team nicknamed Magenta Force now sits in fifth position and has a five-point difference with PSIS Semarang in last place in the top four.
RANS' rate has also recently stalled because it only gets three points in the latest five matches. The three points were obtained from three series against PSM Makassar, Bhayangkara FC, and Persebaya Surabaya.
Therefore, traveling to PSS Sleman headquarters should be an opportunity for them to end this bad record while ending the negative result of the away match.
In the two latest away matches, RANS was recorded as unable to bring home points at all. The two teams that beat them were Persikabo 1973 and Persita Tangerang.
