JAKARTA - Liga 1 2023/2024 week 13 will present a match full of prestige. Persebaya Surabaya will meet their eternal rival, Arema FC, at Gelora Bung Tomo Stadium on Saturday, September 23 at 15.00 WIB.

Both teams carried the mission of revival after stumbling at the start of the season. Persebaya has just lost after previously failing to get points in four matches. Bajul Ijo lost to Madura United with a score of 0-3 when he visited Laskar Sapeh Kepap headquarters in the previous week.

Persebaya is aiming for three points at the East Java derby to secure their position in the standings. The reason is that currently Josep Gombau's team is in eighth position in the standings with 18 points. In the opposing camp, Arema FC came to Bajul Ijo's headquarters in the 13th week with brilliant capital. Singo Edan is in a positive trend after being unbeaten in his last four matches since being coach Fernando Valente was raised.

Behind confidence in the positive trends made, Arema FC has not been able to calm down because they are still stuck in the relegation zone. Singo Edan is currently in 16th position in the standings.

Dendi Santoso and friends are determined to steal three points at the East Java Derby to distance themselves from the red zone.

Regarding the head to head of the two teams, Persebaya benefited because from the last five meetings with Arema they had four wins. Meanwhile, Arema was only able to hold Persebaya's draw once.
