High tension will certainly be present at the Persija Jakarta vs Persib Bandung meeting considering the rivalry between the two. Moreover, currently Persija and Persib are also competing together at the top of the 2024/2025 Liga 1 standings.

Meanwhile, Persib, who recently defeated PSIS Semarang, is now getting stronger at the top of the standings by packing 49 points.

Before the hot duel occurs at the weekend, if you look at the head-to-head record, Maung Bandung is more favored on paper than the Kemayoran Tigers.

This is evident from the results of the last five meetings where Persija Jakarta was only able to win once and draw once. Persib won the remaining three matches.

Ahead of the clashes in the 23rd week of Liga 1 2024/2025, Carlos Pena's team are also in a winning crisis in three consecutive matches. Finally, the Kemayoran Tigers lost 1-2 to Dewa United.

In the opposing camp, Persib, who had difficulty being able to return to the positive track after winning in three matches. Most recently, Bojan Hodak's team succeeded in overthrowing PSIS Semarang with 10 players on Sunday, February 9, 2025.

Conditions got worse after at the first meeting of this season the Kemayoran Tigers lost to Maung Bandung at Si Jalak Harupat Stadium. At that time Persija lost to Persib 0-2 through goals scored by Dimas Drajad and Ryan Kurnia.

Not to mention, Persib still has a good record with never losing in away matches throughout Liga 1 this season.

With a situation like this, of course on Persib paper it is clearly more favored. However, Rizky Ridho and his friends will fight desperately to be able to win and return to second place in the standings.

With the status of the host and not losing in the last five home games, this record can be a motivation for the Kemayoran Tigers.

Interesting to look forward to, who managed to extend the record? Can Persija continue his sweet journey at home while giving Persib the first wound when traveling or vice versa?
