Persib Fails To Defeat Persebaya, Bali United's 'One Leg' Is Already On The Podium To Win League 1

GIANYAR - Persib Bandung's ambition to strengthen its chances of winning the championship was stumbled by Persebaya Surabaya. Targeting a win so they can stick to Bali United, who are in first place in the standings, in fact Persib can only draw against the Bajul Ijo Squad.

With this result, Maung Bandung's points were only 67 from 32 matches. The number of points is still minus 2 compared to Bali United, which is comfortably in first place in the standings with 69 points, and will only have a match against Madura United, tomorrow, Sunday, March 20.

This means, if Serdadu Tridatu manages to pack a perfect result tomorrow, then the point acquisition will be 72, aka a surplus of 5 from the Blue Prince who is ranked second. With only two remaining matches remaining, Persib must win in the remaining two matches against Persik Kediri and Barito Putra, while hoping for a miracle so that Bali United slips in their last two matches against Persebaya and Persik Kediri.

Or, a more realistic scenario that Persib can hope for is that Madura United can hold a draw or even win against Bali United in the 32nd week of tomorrow's match. If that hope is realized, then the distance between Persib and Bali United will remain only 2 points, but Rizky Pellu et al still hold the pole position.

So, still the fate of Persib Bandung to the championship ladder is in the hands of Madura United and Persebaya Surabaya as 'difficult opponents' who will serve Bali United's game in week 32 and week 33. So, are you still optimistic, Bobotoh?
