Apart from being the host, Persib's additional spirit also came thanks to the victory bagged against Borneo FC in the domestic league.
"Especially in the last match we won an important victory and that's certainly good for the team. We are in a good atmosphere too," he said.
With a situation that can be called very profitable, Bojan Hodak inevitably targets to pursue maximum results. The coach insists that his team is still aiming for victory at home to Bangkok United even though the draw is enough to ensure tickets qualify for the knockout stages of the Asian Champions League 2.
At the first meeting with Bangkok United at the Pathum Thani Stadium, Persib also had a sweet record because they managed to win 2-0. On the other hand, Bojan Hodak did not want to be happy, he still warned his players not to underestimate the opponent.
"During the first meeting in Thailand, they were quite difficult. So, we hope that tomorrow we will get positive results," said the coach.
Although now leading the Group G standings of the Asian Champions League 2 with 10 points from five matches, Maung Bandung's position is not yet completely safe because he lost head-to-head to Lion City Sailors.
If Persib fail to score points, while Lion City Sailors win, they have a chance of failing to qualify for the knockout stages.
Therefore, the Persib vs Bangkok United match is crucial for the continuation of Persib's journey in the 2025/2026 Asian Champions League.
