JAKARTA - Madura United will face tough challenges when they host Persib Bandung Saturday, September 28, 2024 at the Bangkalan Stadium, Madura. The hosts are currently trying to improve their performance after a series of bad results.

Meanwhile, Persib Bandung came to this match with high morale after an important 2-0 win over their tough rivals, Persija Jakarta, in the last home game. The match shows Persib's dominance, with their defensive line performing solidly and effective attack. The goals scored by Ryan Kurnia and Muhammad Dimas Drajad show the sharpness of Persib's front line, which will be a serious threat to Madura United.

The victory over Persija has extended Persib's unbeaten record in the last 6 games in Liga 1 this season, putting them in a strong position to continue to dominate. Madura United must be careful of Persib's consistency and attack power in this match.

While Sapeh Kerab is currently struggling to find his best form again. In the last 5 games, they have only scored 4 goals and have always conceded, reflecting big problems in the defense sector. They have not won. And lastly they only drew 3-3 against Dewa United FC, and the defeat to PSBS Biak Numfor and Persis Solo added to the long list of Madura United's poor results.

On the other hand, Persib Bandung showed a more stable force by scoring 5 goals in the last 5 games and being unbeaten in their last 6 matches. In addition to the victory against Persija, Persib also achieved positive results when they beat PSIS 2-1, affirming their status as one of the leading teams of the season.

From the Madura United camp, Lulinha became the top scorer with 3 goals so far. The Brazilian is expected to be able to make a contribution back to the front line, given his sharpness in creating chances. In addition, Iran Goncalves Junior and Arsa Ahmad contributed 1 goal each and are expected to appear more effective in this match.

Meanwhile, Persib Bandung has several flagship players who have performed brilliantly this season. Tyronne is a dangerous midfielder with a collection of 3 goals, while David Silva and Muhammad Dimas Drajad have scored 2 goals each. They pose a serious threat to Madura United's fragile backline.

Persib Bandung has a record very impressive meeting against Madura United. In the last 5 meetings, Persib has never lost to Madura United, with a record of 4 wins and 1 draw. Persib's last win over Madura United took place in November 2023 with a narrow score of 1-0 in Madura. This statistic adds to the pressure for the hosts who have to work hard to break Persib's dominance.

Seeing the performance of the two teams, Persib Bandung is clearly above the wind with their unbeaten record. Solid defense and effective attack will be the key for Persib to win again. On the other hand, Madura United must immediately improve their weak defense if they want to achieve positive results at home.

This match is predicted to take place strictly, but with a consistent performance, Persib Bandung has a great chance to win this match.

This meeting will certainly be interesting with both teams that have their own missions. Madura United will try to break their bad trend of getting out of the caretaker position, while Persib Bandung wants to continue the positive momentum of their victory over Persija.
