Clashes At Home, Persib Bandung Beware Of Dewa United's Power

JAKARTA - Persib Bandung coach, Bojan Hodak, was wary of Dewa United's strength when both teams clashed in the 13th week of the Super League 2025/2026. The match will take place at the Gelora Bandung Stadium, Lautan Api on Friday, November 21, 2025, at 19.00 WIB.

"This will be a difficult match. Against Dewa United, I think they are one of the best teams in Indonesia right now."

"I predict they will be in the top four of the season," Bojan Hodak said in a statement before the match quoted from the official website.

Menjamu Dewa United di kandang, pelatih asal Croatia itu menegaskan bahwa tuan rumah menganggu misi revensi setelah musim sebelumnya dimalukan 0-2 di kandang sendiri.

The match is believed to be interesting because in this visit, Dewa United also brought two former Persib core players, Nick Kuipers and Edo Febriansah, who made the visitors' defense predicted to be more solid.

With the current formation of the visitors, Bojan assessed that it was not easy for Persib to beat Dewa United. He believes the opposing team will go all out to improve their position, which is now ranked 14th in the Super League standings.

Ahead of Dewa United's opponents, Bojan reported that Maung Bandung was certainly not strengthened by three core players, namely Federico Barba, who was suffering from dengue fever, Adam Alis, who was injured, and Luciano Guaycochea who was absent due to a red card suspension.

Despite the three names that were absent, Bojan emphasized that his squad was ready to fight and in top condition for the best game.

"The rest are ready to play. I hope they can play well and get positive results," said Bojan.
