JAKARTA - Persita Tangerang will host Barito Putera in the 18th week of Liga 1 2023/2024. The plan is that the host will rely on the team's focus to get the full three points when appearing at the Indomilk Arena Stadium on Saturday, November 4 at 19.00 WIB.

This will be implemented by Prince Cisadane because he reflected on the previous match. Where when they faced Bali United in the 17th week they lost 3-0 at the I Wayan Dipta Stadium, Gianyar.

Divaldo Alves as the coach deeply regretted the declining performance of his team in the second half when facing Bali United.

"I think we played an amazing part (against Bali United), in the first round it was very special. I want to play constant in the first half because our team has changed, and our team in the future can rise again by playing focus," said Divaldo Alves as quoted from the Persita Tangerang club's official website.

Persita also targeted victory at home because they were struggling to push up from the bottom of the standings this season. So far Persita is still in 15th position with 17 points.

On the other hand, Barito Putera, who last week had to return to a draw when he hosted Persikabo 1973 with a score of 1-1, will certainly try to end the drought of victory in the last 5 matches.

Coach Rahmad Darmawan's squad has so far been ranked 7th in the 2023/2024 Liga 1 season standings with a total of 24 points. To get out of the famine period, Barito will undergo this match with a new breakthrough.

Laskar Antasari will visit the Indomilk Arena Stadium by bringing new players to help break up his team. Through the new player's Instagram account @psbaritoputeraofficial, the winger-positioned player was introduced by the team.

"Winger academic @baritoputeraanum or Elite Pro Academy (EPA) Barito Putera, Abdul Aziz with his abilities impressed and officially presented the Head Coach to the Senior Team," wrote the team's statement.

Abdul Aziz is not a new figure in the team, this player is a player from the EPA who was promoted to the senior team. He just joined EPA Barito Putera in early 2023.

Abdul Aziz's decision to withdraw to the senior team has also gone through various considerations. Based on the coach's statement, Rahmad Darmawan considered that Abdul Aziz showed the quality in training.

"Because it shows the quality of the training, we give our appreciation to the first team," he said.
