JAKARTA - Persis Solo this time had the opportunity to host PSS Sleman in the 19th week of Liga 1 2023/2024. This match will be held at Maguwoharjo Stadium, Sleman para Rabu, 8 November at 19.00 WIB.

Even though Persis is the host, this match will actually be held at the Maguwoharjo Stadium, which is actually PSS headquarters. This situation occurred because of Manahan Stadium, Persis headquarters so far will be used as an arena for the U-17 World Cup. Therefore, for the adjustment of the match schedule, it was moved.

Even so, Persis did not really make the location of the game a big problem. Leonardo Medina's team focused on trying to win again after they successfully beat Bhayangkara Presisi FC 2-1.

On the other hand, PSS Sleman, who is a guest status but feels the hosts, made this moment a great opportunity to try to end his bad results in his last 6 matches in Liga 1 this season. Because the squad nicknamed Super Elja has never won in their last six matches this season.

Launching from the official website of the New Indonesian League (LIB), PSS Sleman in their last 6 matches was only able to win 1 draw and 5 defeats. These results make PSS Sleman now at the bottom of the standings.

The series of bad results received by PSS Sleman in the last 6 matches in Liga 1 for the 2023/2024 season are certainly a disappointing result for his fans. Moreover, in the 18th week against Bali United, they were humiliated at home.

Now with away status but playing at home is a gap for PSS to get out of a bad series. This spirit was shown by the captain of PSS Sleman, Kim Jeffrey Kurniawan by inviting his colleagues to get up immediately.

"I think the quality of the team this season exists. However, seeing the recent condition it has disappeared. We have to dig together to find out the causes and reasons," said Kim Kurniawan about his team quoted from the PSS official website, Tuesday, November 7.

"In the future (against Persis Solo) we have to be better because there are still many matches waiting. Whatever the conditions, there is no surrender, the players must be confident that we can succeed this season," said Kim excitedly.

In addition to building a spirit of winning in order to get out of a bad series, PSS also targets victory to please fans. Because the continuous defeat had made conditions unfavorable.

As a form of disappointment with the performance of the supporters' teams, they attacked the field and caused chaos by destroying the bench. This situation occurred when PSS lost to Bali United last week. In order to pay for the shortcomings of supporters, PSS must earn three points against Persis. Moreover, they played away but felt like they were in Maguwoharjo.
