JAKARTA - The fourth week of Qualification for Group G of the 2023 AFC Cup is Bali United's opportunity to host the Central Coast Marines. The match will be held at the Captain Dipta Stadium, Gianyar on Wednesday, November 8 at 19.00 WIB.
Facing the A-League representative team, Bali United was actually under pressure despite appearing at home. This situation could not be separated from the minor results obtained at the previous meeting.
In the third week of last October 26, Bali United visited the Industree Group Stadium, which is the home of the Central Coast Marines. The result was unsatisfactory because Bali United lost with a landslide score of 6-3.
In addition to tarnishing the away moment, the result also made Bali United's position from the top of the standings evicted by the opponent. Bali United is now in third place in the standings with four points.
Meanwhile, the Marines topped the 2023 AFC Cup Group G standings with six points from two wins and one loss.
If you want to win again, Bali United must win when appearing at the Captain Dipta Stadium. However, this effort encountered a few obstacles due to the condition of Serdadu Tridatu who had not yet been patented.
The Bali United back line must be evaluated because it is the easiest for Central Coast Mariners players to break into. This fact was acknowledged by coach Stefano Cugurra Teco.
After last third week's match, Coach Teco bluntly said Bali United's back line had problems losing to the Central Coast Mariners.
"Yes, we made some mistakes behind so the opponent could score goals and that must be fixed," said Teco on the club's website.

This situation is the main focus that Teco must improve, considering that not all Bali United defenders are in a fit condition.
Novri Setiawan's right-back is still being monitored after being hit by a sweep of Adilson Maringa's ball in the last match of Bali United against PSS Sleman on Friday, November 3.
Meanwhile, Haudi Abdillah's centre-back did too. He suffered an injury in the last match against PSS Sleman. In the defensive midfielder sector, Made Tito and Tegar Infantrie still have not fully recovered.
This condition must be handled by Coach Teco well so that Bali United does not return to being the month of the Central Coast Marines. Especially at this moment Serdadu Tridatu will appear at home in front of thousands of spectators.
