JAKARTA - An interesting battle will occur when Persebaya Surabaya host Madura United at Gelora Bung Tomo Stadium on Wednesday, March 13, 2024 at 20:30 WIB in the 29th week of Liga 1 action. Both teams prepare for this match with high motivation to win which will help them improve their position in the league standings.

Persebaya Surabaya came with a tough 2-1 win against PSS Sleman in their last match, showing their toughness and determination in finding positive results. Meanwhile, Madura United won a 3-2 attractive victory over Persita, showing the strength of their attack that could pose a serious threat to Persebaya.

Persebaya coach Paul Munster asked for total support from Bonek-Bonita supporters to provide extra enthusiasm and motivation to players in the match against Madura United. Munster realized that maximum support from supporters would help his team to continue the positive trend at home after two consecutive wins.

"We hope to have the support of Bonek/Bonita again and hope all the fans, as the last match (kandang) really provides tremendous support, but if we get more fans it's good," said Paul Munster.

"We are very focused on fighting Madura in the home game," he said.

Madura United, on the other hand, is also competing fiercely in the race for the top four of the final standings so that they can advance to the championship stage. With a difference of only one point with PSIS Semarang who is ranked fourth, Madura United will try hard to achieve positive results in this match.

The match between Persebaya Surabaya and Madura United is predicted to be a fierce battle full of attacks and tactical intrigue. Both teams will try hard to win and secure a position in the Liga 1 standings.
