JAKARTA - Week 25 of Liga 1 2024/2025 will resume on Monday, March 3, 2025. Today's match will feature a match between PSS Sleman and Barito Putera.
The match, which was held at Manahan Stadium, Solo, at 20.30 WIB, will be a momentum for PSS Sleman as the host to get out of the relegation zone.
In this second round, PSS Sleman's record was not too good because it only made one win, one draw, and five defeats. With that record, the Javanese Super Elang must be able to take advantage of the remaining 10 matches with good results.
However, when meeting Barito Putera, PSS had the opportunity to gain good results. You see, from the record of meeting with Laskar Antasari, Super Elang Jawa managed to win in the last two meetings.

PSS coach Pieter Huistra realized his team needed a win in order to distance themselves from the relegation zone. Currently PSS is ranked 17th with a collection of 19 points.
"Preparations for this match took longer than yesterday's North Maluku United opponent, which was only two to three days."
"This week I gave instructions to the players and how the game plan was clearer to the team," Pieter Huistra said in a statement before the match, quoted on Monday, March 3, 2025.
"Hopefully, we as a team have the same thoughts, how to survive, how to attack, we fight."
"I hope for this team. I expect us to play well well. I hope to show the best against Barito Putera," said the coach.
Meanwhile, Barito Putera has a chance to damage PSS' ambition. They are in a positive trend ahead of their visit to PSS Sleman's temporary headquarters.
Previously, Laskar Antasari won 3-1 over his Bali United FC guest at Demang Lehman Stadium.
In that match, Barito Putera's Lucas Morelatto da Cruz, who came out as the best player, admitted that he was ready to undergo the next match against PSS Sleman.
"We have to immediately focus on fighting PSS Sleman. For us, all the remaining matches are like a final match," Lucas said as quoted from the New Indonesian League page.
Currently, Barito Putera's position is better than PSS. They are in 13th position in the standings by collecting 25 points.
