JAKARTA Persija Jakarta's defense report is very good ahead of the away match against Persib Bandung in the 2022/2023 Indonesian League 1 continued this weekend.

The match titled big match will be held at the Gelora Bandung Stadium in the Sea of Fire (GBLA) on Sunday, October 2 at 16.00 WIB tomorrow. Persija attended with a record conceded five times from 10 matches.

"The conceding of five goals in 10 matches means that the team has worked well, solidly, and the players are able to work together together," said Persija Thomas Doll coach, quoted by the club website.

Persija started a positive trend since the second week of the 10 matches they have played. The team nicknamed the Kemayoran Tigers is unbeaten after losing 0-1 to Bali United in the first week of the match.

The result made Doll's team collect a total of 21 points and occupy fifth position in the standings. They are two points adrift of Madura United who occupies the top spot.

This special record makes Persija optimistic that the positive trend will continue at Persib headquarters. Moreover, Maung Bandung is currently still in eighth position with a difference of five points from the Kemayoran Tigers.

"To fight Persib later, we have observed and studied all the opposing players. Hopefully, everything will go according to plan," said the 56-year-old coach.

In the previous week Persija only brought home one point after playing the 0-0 draw against Madura United. Meanwhile, Persib succeeded in bringing home five points thanks to a 5-2 victory over Barito Putera.

Ahead of this match, both supporters from each club have also tried to cool the atmosphere. The Jakmania and Viking Jabodetabek held a friendship so that the tension of the match, especially off the field, could be cool.
