JAKARTA - Week 13 of Liga 1 2023/2024 on Monday, September 25 will present an interesting match between Borneo FC and PSM Makassar at the Segiri Samarinda Stadium. The match which takes place at 19.00 WIB is predicted to be a chance for Borneo FC to get closer to the top of the standings.

Borneo FC is currently in second place with a collection of 22 points from 12 matches. While at the top position there is Madura United who has 27 points, with a difference of five points Pesut Etam is aiming for a victory over PSM Makassar to cut more distance.

The mission is also supported by the qualified situation that Borneo FC is currently undergoing. Before hosting PSM Makassar, Pesut Etam managed to carve a victory over PSS Sleman at home.

The slick result against PSS is also proof that Borneo FC is in good rhythm after stumbling at the start of the season. Previously, Pieter Huistra's team also managed to win four of their last five matches.

Meanwhile, in the PSM Makassar camp, they came to the Segiri Stadium on a mission to rise from the 0-3 defeat to Hai Phong in the 2023/2024 AFC Cup group phase last week.

Although the two camps are in a situation that contrasts the Japan meeting, but if you look at the records in domestic matches both Borneo FC and PSM Makassar are fairly good.

So far, the PSM Makassar, which was managed by Bernardo Tavares, has been unbeaten for three matches. Head to head, Borneo FC and PSM Makassar are equally strong because from ten meetings in League 1, each recorded four wins and two draws.

However, if you look at the record of the last five meetings between the two teams, Borneo FC is more favored to win. Moreover, in this match Pesut Etam will act as the host team.
