JAKARTA - Persib Bandung will face Arema in the continuation of Liga 1 on Sunday, August 27, 2024, at the Gelora Bandung Lautan Api Stadium, Bandung. This match is predicted to be an exciting match considering the performance of the two teams and the history of their meeting.

Persib Bandung is in a pretty good form. In the last five games, including three games last season, they scored 15 goals. This shows a sharp attack line. In these two League 1 matches this season, Persib won one win and one draw, placing them in 7th position in the standings with 4 points. A 3-0 win over Bali United is proof of their strength in the front line.

On the other hand, Arema is currently having trouble scoring goals. They have not managed to score in the last three games and are in 14th position in the standings with 1 point. After a goalless draw against Dewa United and a 0-2 loss to Borneo Samarinda, Arema is certainly determined to bounce back in this match.

In the last five meetings, Persib Bandung was superior with three wins and two draws. Arema has not managed to beat Persib in their last five matches, which is a challenge for the Malang team.

In the Persib Bandung camp, players like David da Silva and Ciro Alves will be the main threat on the front lines. Both have shown impressive performance and are expected to be able to take advantage of the weaknesses in Arema's back line.

Meanwhile, Arema will rely on players like Renshi Yamaguchi in midfield to control the game and provide support to their attacking lines. However, Arema must also increase their goal productivity if they want to get positive results in this match.

This match will be determined greatly by Persib's ability to continue to maintain their positive momentum at home. On the other hand, Arema must immediately find their best form, especially in scoring goals, if they want to steal points in Bandung.

With the current team's condition and the history of the meeting of the two teams, Persib Bandung is slightly more favored to win this match. However, football is always full of surprises, and Arema could rise up at an important moment like this.
