JAKARTA - Week 13 of Liga 1 2024/2025 starts on Friday, December 6, 2024, at 15.30 WIB. The Borneo FC vs PSIS Semarang match will be the opening match.

Taking place at the Batakan Stadium, Balikpapan, this match will be an away party that is not easy for PSIS Semarang.

This moment became an opportunity for Laskar Mahesa Jenar to remove the curse on Pesut Etam.

Since 2021, PSIS Semarang is known to have never won against Pesut Etam. In fact, they even lost with a landslide score of 1-6.

There were six previous meetings in which Borneo packed four wins and the rest ended in a draw.

Even in the three home games, Borneo looked superior with two wins and one draw.

However, at this moment, a glimmer of hope is on the side of PSIS Semarang. The reason is, they are currently on track quite positively.

PSIS Semarang has just bagged successive wins in the 11th and 12th weeks over Persik Kediri and Semen Padang. With this slick record, Septian David Maulana, the team captain, is quite confident in facing Borneo FC.

This situation was strengthened by the preparations that had been undertaken by finalizing a strategy based on the direction of the coach.

This is a powerful way to beat Borneo FC who is one of the strong teams in Liga 1 this season.

"As usual, we are finalizing another strategy. There may be a change in strategy because we also see from the opposing side," said Septian David Maulana in a statement after the exercise quoted on Wednesday, December 4, 2024.

"Borneo FC is a strong team in Liga 1 with very good player material as well. There may be a slight change in strategy to fight them. Hopefully it can run smoothly," he said again.

On the other hand, Borneo FC as the host must also work hard to tackle the potential of the visitors. The reason is, lately Pesut Etam is experiencing a negative trend after experiencing two consecutive defeats.

Most recently, Pieter Huistra's squad was defeated by PSM Makassar 0-1. Despite losing, Pesut Etam's position in the standings remained safe at the top, fifth in rank, with 21 points.

In the previous match, despite being defeated by PSM, Borneo actually performed quite well. In fact, their performance was considered Pieter Huistra better than Juku Eja.

"We fought until the end and it was good if you saw it. We were better than opponents," Pieter Huistra said.
