Ahead of this match, Maung Bandung has enough capital to boost confidence. The reason is, in the inaugural match of the 2025/2026 Super League, they bagged a 2-0 victory over Semen Padang.
For the Asia 2 Champions League Qualification agenda, the Blue Prince will be strengthened by players who have been a mainstay since last season, including Beckham Putra, Adam Alis, Marc Klok, to Kakang Rudianto.
In addition, Julio Cesar, Luciano Guaycochea, William Marcilio, Frans Putros, Uiam Barros, Berguinho, Ramon Tanque, Patricio Matricardi, and Saddil Ramdani will also play an important role despite their new status.
Persib defender Frans Putros hopes that Bobotoh will return to give his full support when his team plays the ACL 2 Qualification match.
He felt confident that Maung Bandung could step into the next phase. This belief could not be separated from his debut for the team in the 2025/26 Super League against Semen Padang last weekend.
"For me, it was a special debut for Persib, playing at GBLA and in front of Bobotoh. Thank you very much from the bottom of my heart for that extraordinary support. I hope for the same support again on Wednesday," Putros said, Monday, August 11, 2025.
Putros said the match against Maniladigger was an important match. You see, the winner of the match will get a place in the group stage of ACL 2.
"It's a very important game because I think we in the team feel very worthy to be at ACL 2."
"So, we have to win in order to qualify for the group stage again. It will be difficult without Bobotoh's support," he said.
