JAKARTA - Persebaya will undergo the fifth week of the 2025/2026 Super League by visiting Persib Bandung headquarters. This agenda is an opportunity for Bajul Ijo to make history.

In detail, the Green Force recorded four wins, two draws, and six defeats. From existing records, Persebaya has never won when he visited Bandung.

The meeting moment in the fifth week of this league should be used properly by Persebaya to break the record of never winning. Moreover, before this match they have qualified capital to perform optimally.

From the last two matches played in the competition, Persebaya was recorded as having recorded a 1-0 victory against Persita and a 5-2 win at home to Bali United.

For Persebaya midfielder, Francisco Rivera, the opportunities that exist and followed by recorded statistics are actually a motivation in itself. The Mexican midfielder emphasized that he was ready to give everything to bring home three points from Persib Bandung headquarters.

"There will probably be a lot of supporters watching live. It's a good opportunity to show Persebaya's quality. We haven't won a few seasons, now is the time to make history."

"Every game my target is always a win. We know Persib have good players, they have won two consecutive seasons. However, we are a team that always fights until the end," said the player who is familiarly called Cachis.

Meanwhile, Persebaya's assistant coach, Uston Nawawi, acknowledged that the big challenge was already waiting in Bandung, especially since the home team had the status of a back-to-back league champion. However, he believes the fighting spirit until the long whistle will be the main weapon of Bajol Ijo.

"Against the big team, of course, it will make our motivation even more doubled. If we can win in Bandung, it will feel special. We have prepared ourselves, including anticipating their style of play," he said.
