JAKARTA - The fight to win the League 1 title is heating up, while the teams at the bottom must fight hard to avoid relegation. With the season approaching the end, every game has a big meaning to the teams involved.

At the top of the standings, Borneo Samarinda continued to strengthen his dominance with impressive records. With 66 points from 28 matches, they are at the top of the standings firmly. Their consistent performance during the season made them a difficult team to beat.

However, Persib Bandung will not just give up. With 51 points, they are in second place and continue to catch up to win even though they only have six matches left. Bali United FC is also still a serious threat with 48 points, ranking third with stable performance.

While several teams competed for the title, teams at the bottom had to fight hard to avoid relegation. Persikabo 1973 and Bhayangkara Presisi Indonesia FC found themselves stuck in the relegation zone, with points far from safe. Both teams must immediately improve their performance if they want to stay in Liga 1.

Competition for positions in the championship playoffs is also getting tighter. PSIS and Madura United, still have an interest and opportunity to push up in that position.

Several teams such as Persija Jakarta, Persebaya Surabaya, and Arema continue to struggle to secure their place in the middle board, while teams such as PSS Sleman and Persita must fight hard to avoid relegation.

With fewer and fewer matches remaining, each point is very valuable for all teams. The fight to win the League 1 title and to avoid relegation will continue to be the main focus for all clubs. With the increasing intensity, football fans throughout Indonesia look forward to the tense and dramatic moments of the remainder of the League 1 season. Now nearing the end of the season, every game has a big meaning to the teams involved.

Keep in mind, the away performance of a team is often a key determinant in their journey throughout the season. Let's review the records of away matches of clubs in the league:

Persib Bandung showed strong dominance in away matches, with a record of seven wins, five draws, and only two defeats. They have gained 26 points from 14 away matches, placing them at the top of the away match standings. Stable performance outside the home has become an important factor in their journey towards the top position.

Borneo Samarinda also showed outstanding performance outside the home, with seven wins, four draws, and two defeats. They have collected 25 points from 13 away games, making them a serious competitor to Persib Bandung in away competition.

At the end of the spectrum, Persikabo 1973 and Persita encountered difficulties in away matches. The two were only able to collect eight and seven points each from 14 away matches. This unsatisfactory performance made them struggle to stay at the top.

Meanwhile, Borneo Samarinda dominated the home standings with incredible strength. Of the 15 games at home, they managed to win 13 wins and only drew twice. With a total of 41 points and a marked goal difference, they made the stadium an immovable stronghold, conquering their opponents with impressive performances.

PSIS took second place in the home standings, showing outstanding consistency with 10 wins from 14 games. They have earned 33 points and are one of the team that are difficult to beat at home.

However, major challenges come from teams such as Bali United FC, Persis Solo, and Persik, which also show strong performance at home. With a narrow difference in points at the top, competition at home is getting tighter and every game is considered a fierce battle.

At the end of the home standings, Persikabo 1973 had difficulties by winning only one victory from 14 matches, occupying the bottom position with nine points. However, they are not alone in this difficulty, where Bhayangkara Presisi Indonesia FC also found similar challenges at home to opponents.
