JAKARTA - Week 13 of Liga 1 2024/2025 will present a match between Semen Padang vs Persija Jakarta.

The match will be held on Friday, December 6, 2024, at 19.00 WIB at the Haji Agus Salim Stadium, Padang.

Facing Persija Jakarta as the top occupant, this match is full of missions for Semen Padang who occupy the bottom position with a collection of six points.

As the host, Kabau Sirah wants to make the most of it. They intend to rise to improve their position in the standings.

However, the problem is that the target seems difficult to realize. Semen Padang has never won in the last nine matches, six defeats and three draws.

That record has a great chance of being extended because Persija comes with a positive trend. In the last five matches, Macan Kemayoran has won four wins and one defeat. Three of the wins were achieved in a row.

However, Persija coach Carlos Pena emphasized to his troops not to be arrogant when facing the team at the bottom of the standings.

The reason is, Pena considered the remaining matches at the end of this year to be quite dense. There are five matches that Persija must play, including meeting Semen Padang.

Pena must think carefully about player rotation as well as performance consistency.

"We know that December will have many matches. We will restore our condition so that we are ready for the next match."

"We will maximize all the players that we can play," said Pena, quoted from the official PT LIB website on Wednesday, December 4, 2024.

Of the five remaining matches that Macan Kemayoran will face in December 2024, two of them are against strong teams, namely Borneo FC (December 10, 2024) and Bali United (December 15, 2024).

Luckily, the other three matches should not be a stumbling block for Persija. In addition to Semen Padang, which is at the bottom, Persija will face a bottom team, PSS Sleman (December 21, 2024), and a middle-ranking club, Malut United (December 28, 2024).

Calos Pena assured that the players do not need to worry about going through the tight schedule. The reason is, he emphasized that the important thing that the players must do is focus on facing the nearest match.

"We don't have to think too much about the long game ahead. We will focus on one match at a time," he said.
