Persib Don't Want To Be Inferior In Front Of Lion City In The Asian Champions League 2

JAKARTA - Persib Bandung will continue its struggle in AFC Champions League 2 (ACL 2) or the 2024/2025 Asian Champions League against Lion City.

The meeting between Persib Bandung and Lion City is the third matchday of the Asian Champions League 2. The match will be held at Si Jalak Harupat Stadium on Thursday, October 24, 2024, at 19.00 WIB.

This match is an important moment for Maung Bandung who is eyeing his first victory at ACL 2. The reason is, from the initial two matches, no full points have been secured.

Persib must submit twice, namely losing against Port FC 0-1 and losing at Zhejiang Professional base with a score of 0-1.

Persib vs Lion City's meeting in Group F ACL 2 is the first for both teams. Currently Bojan Hodak's squad is stranded at the bottom of Group F without points, while Lion City is at the top of the standings with a collection of three points.

If you look at the situation of each team in the domestic league, Persib, who is in Liga 1 Indonesia, is in third place in the standings. Meanwhile, Lion City is at the top of the Singapore Premier League standings.

Persib tactician, Bojan Hodak, admits Lion City is superior on paper. However, this Croatian coach is determined to bring Persib to achieve positive results in public itself.

"It will be a difficult match. They are entering the Asian Champions League 2 and can win from the Chinese team (Zhejiang) which is more favorite on paper."

"So, they are certainly a good team. This will be difficult. However, I hope in my own stadium and in front of fans, we can get positive results," said Hodak as quoted by the official website of Persib Bandung.

In addition, Persib's status as the host in this match can strengthen them a little because it will get support from Bobotoh.

The team from the capital city of West Java is also the only unbeaten team in Liga 1 this season.

These two things can be a separate motivation for Beckham Putra and his friends to look more stunning when they host Lion City in Si Jalak Harupat.
