PSM Makassar will travel to PSIS Semarang headquarters in the 14th week of Liga 1 2023/2024, Saturday, September 30 at Jatidiri Stadium.

The match against PSIS Semarang became an away match three times in a row for PSM Makassar after previously meeting Borneo FC in the domestic league and Hai Phong in the AFC Cup. In those two matches, the results were unpleasant.

This away match to the Jatidiri Stadium could be a moment for PSM to return to a positive path. If they lose again, their position will be even worse in domestic competitions.

PSIS itself will appear without Taisei Marukawa. In the last match against Barito Putera, Marukawa was absent and had the opportunity not to be fielded in the match later.

The presence of Marukawa actually has an important role for Laskar Mahesa Jenar because this Japanese player has speed to fight the opponent's defense.

The execution and bait can be a scourge for PSM Makassar. Moreover, so far, Marukawa has produced one goal and three assists for his team which is proof of its quality and contribution to PSIS Semarang.

If PSIS is without Marukawa, PSM can field Kenzo Nambu, who is often the deadlock. The Japanese player has scored six goals for the Ramang Troops and is the interim scorer.
