JAKARTA - Persib Bandung is getting closer to their winner's back-to-back after they won convincingly three goals without reply from PSS Sleman at the Gelora Bandung Stadium, Lautan Api on Saturday (26/4) through a Gustavo Franca goal and two goals from Tyronne del Pino.
This victory temporarily led Persib to collect 64 points in first place, and lead 11 points from Dewa United's second-ranked team which lost the same week to North Maluku United at Pakansari Stadium, one day earlier.
Persib now need four more points to seal the title, if in Monday's match (28/4), Persebaya Surabaya beat Arema FC in the East Java derby at the Captain I Wayan Dipta Stadium.
If Persebaya wins, then they will move up to second place with a collection of 55 points and with four games remaining, then the maximum point for the Bajul Ijo team is 57 points.
On the other hand, if Persebaya fails to win in tomorrow's match, then Persib only needs two more points to win. They can immediately get these two points in the next match when Bojan Hodak's team visited Gelora Kie Raha Stadium, Ternate, to fight the host Malut United on Friday (2/5) at 19.00 WIB.
On the other hand, the results of the matchday 30 made Persib rivals, Persija Jakarta, again out of the top four after they were humiliated by the Semen Padang relegation zone team.
Playing at Pakansari Stadium, Bogor, Sunday, Persija, who acted as the host, gave up 0-2 from Eduardo Almeida's team through goals from Firman Juliansyah (19') and Bruno Gomes (44') in the first half.

Meanwhile, Semen Padang won two consecutive victories after winning 3-2 over PSIS Semarang in their last match. These six crucial points temporarily maintain their hopes of staying in Liga 1 after becoming 16th with 28 points or one point adrift of Barito Putera who is just above the relegation zone.
In addition to Arema's match against Persebaya on Monday, the 30th week of Liga 1 still leaves one other match on the same day. It involved another team of East Java, when Madura United hosted Persik Kediri at Gelora Bangkalan at 19.00 WIB.
