JAKARTA - Week 26 of Liga 1 2022/2023 will present a prestigious match between Persib Bandung vs Arema FC. Maung Bandung carries an important mission in this lag, namely returning to its top position.

Acting as the host, Persib Bandung will host Arema FC at Pakansari Stadium, Cibinong on Thursday, February 23 at 15.00 WIB.

This match will be a momentum for Persib to hunt down the full three points. Luis Milla's team is still determined to return to the top of the standings, after last week's record of 15 times unbeaten by PSM Makassar.

Persib is currently competing at the top of the standings with Persija Jakarta and PSM Makassar. With a collection of 49 points, Maung Bandung is only three points from PSM at the top and a difference of one point from Persija in second place.

Seeing the distance that was not too far away, the three points that were set when against Arema FC could make Maung Bandung shoot up. Of course, the mission that can be completed considering the performance and material of the players currently have is better than Arema FC.

Luis Milla is believed to be able to implement the 3-4-3 formation in the match later. It is believed that Paku Alam's Teja will still be under the Bandung, Igbonefo, Kuipers and Sato superstars are predicted to be deployed to guard the back lines.

The midfield can be filled with Irianto, Kambuaya, Klok and Rezaldi. Meanwhile, the position of wingers and strikers can be entrusted to Alves, David da Silva and Beckham.

On the other hand, Arema FC, who is still performing inconsistent, should not be underestimated by Maung Bandung. Singo Edan's last five matches, who could only earn six points, could be a moment to get up in this match.

For this reason, clashes with Singo Edan still have to be watched out for by Persib so that the mission to collect three points in this match is not wasted.
