JAKARTA - Bali United will face Persebaya Surabaya in Week 33 of Liga 1 2021/2022 at I Gusti Ngurah Rai Stadium, Denpasar, Friday, March 25 night. Ahead of the match, the coach of Persebaya, Aji Santoso, had launched a war of nerves or psychics.

This match itself will be the decisive match for the champions of the League 1 competition this season. Bali United, who are against Persebaya, has a great chance to make sure the trophy is theirs.

Currently, Bali United sits at the top of the standings with 72 points. Serdadu Tridatu's points are five points different from Persib Bandung, which is below him.

Seeing that note, even Bali only needed a draw when they met Bajul Ijo because just one point could make them champions.

Persebaya coach, Aji Santoso said his team was not under pressure ahead of this match. Instead, according to him, it was Bali United who felt the pressure.

"For that, I emphasize to the players to enjoy, appear loose, and want to dominate the game. And also win the game," said Aji Santoso quoted from the Persebaya Surabaya website.

Although the victory over Bali United did not have much impact on the final standings of Persebaya, Aji Santoso refused to budge. He wants to continue to bring his team to compete optimally and apply fair play.

"I assure everyone that later it will be a fighting match and there will be no engineering. A halal thayyiban (good halal) match. If we win, there are no other factors. If we lose, that's the same," said Aji.

"What is clear is that I will fight fairly without seeing the others. Maybe if we win it will help Persib Bandung, if we lose it will help Bali, but that doesn't mean anything," said the coach from Malang.

This duel is believed to be interesting. In addition to being decisive, this match brought together two teams who both played aggressively during the competition.

Bali United and Persebaya Surabaya are listed as the two most productive teams in terms of scoring goals. Bali United has recorded 54 goals, while Persebaya has 52.
