On Sunday, August 11, 2024, PSIS Semarang will host Persita Tangerang at the Moch Soebroto Stadium, Magelang, in the opening match of BRI Liga 1 2024-2025. Despite playing outside their main home which is still in the renovation stage, PSIS remains ambitious to get the full three points.

PSIS Semarang, under the tutelage of Gilbert Agius, showed promising performance ahead of the competition with a 5-0 victory against Persekat Tegal in their last test match. Overall, PSIS recorded four test matches without defeat, giving high confidence to Laskar squad Mahesa Jenar.

On the other hand, Persita Tangerang, led by their new coach, also conducted several trials to prepare the team. Although their test results were not very encouraging, with a goalless draw against PSIM Yogyakarta, Persita was able to rise with a 2-1 victory against PSS Sleman. Both teams have made several squad reshuffles, especially in the foreign player sector.

Last season, PSIS Semarang and Persita Tangerang defeated each other in their two meetings. On November 9, 2023, PSIS successfully slaughtered Persita with a score of 4-0, but previously on July 8, 2023, Persita won 2-0 over PSIS. In the last five meetings of the two teams, the results were very balanced, with each team recording two wins and one draw.
