JAKARTA - Liga 1 Indonesia again presents an exciting match in the 23rd round between Persik Kediri and Persis Solo. This match will be held at the Brawijaya Stadium, Kediri, on Friday, February 14, 2025, at 19.00 WIB. The meeting of these two teams has always attracted attention, considering the rivalry that has been built in recent years.
Persik Kediri, who is currently 12th in the standings with 5 points from the last 5 matches, will try to take advantage of the home advantage to win. The team nicknamed the "White Tiger" has a record of 1 win, 2 draws, and 2 defeats in the last five matches.
Persik's performance fluctuates, with a win over Bali United (1-3), a draw against PSS Sleman (0-0) and Barito Putera (1-1), as well as two defeats to Persita (1-0) and Malut United (2-1). Despite scoring 5 goals in the last 5 matches, defense issues are still homework for Persik, considering they have always conceded in the last 10 matches.
