JAKARTA - Week 12 of Liga 1 2023/2024 will present the West Java Derby between Persib Bandung versus Persikabo 1973. The match was held at the Bandung Lautan Api Stadium on Saturday, September 16 at 15.00 WIB.

The meeting with Persikabo 1973 was an advantage for Maung Bandung. Apart from appearing at home, the visitors' condition has not yet improved.

For Persib, victory over Persikabo 1973 is the main target in this match. Because apart from pleasing supporters, the match at home will also be a place to avenge disappointment because it lost 1-4 to the Laskar Pajajaran team in the final match in Liga 1 last season.

Persib may appear without the injured Son Beckham. Apart from Beckham Putra who is likely to miss tomorrow's game, Alberto Rodriguez may also not be able to play because he has not recovered 100 percent.

In the Persikabo camp, they visited Maung Bandung with an unfavorable situation. The team nicknamed Laskar Padjajaran has not won from the last five matches that were played in Liga 1 2023/2024.

Regarding the condition of the players, Persikabo's situation is also not much different from Persib's. They lost two of their players, namely Dimas Drajad, who is still injured, and Andy Setyo, who had to join the U-24 Indonesian National Team for the 2023 Asian Games, in Guangzhou, China.

Looking at the notes on paper, Persib is indeed more superior than Persikabo. However, reflecting on the statistical data of the second meeting record, Persikabo is often able to make it difficult for Persib to achieve the winning results.

It was recorded that from 14 meetings between the two teams, Persib Bandung only won five times. In other matches, Persikabo won three times 1973, and six times the remaining matches ended in a draw.

In fact, in the last five duels, the Maung Bandung team was only able to beat the Laskar Pajajaran team once. The rest, Persikabo won once and drew three times.

Predictions of the line-up:

Persib Bandung (4-2-3-1): Teja Paku Alam; Kakang Rudianto, Nick Kuipers, Victor Igbonefo, Daisuke Sato; Rachmat Irianto, Marc Klok, Frets Butuan, Levy Madinda, Ezra Walian; David da Silva.
