Dewa United vs Persija Preview: Second Place Host the BRI Super League Leaders

Second Place Take On the League Leaders

This game brings together the top two sides in the table. Persija lead the way with 18 points and a goal difference of +11. Dewa United are second with 14 points. Both teams have played seven games.

A win tonight would put Persija seven points clear of their nearest rivals. For Dewa United, it is a golden chance to cut the gap to just one point.

Form Over the Last Five Games

Persija arrive in excellent form. In their last five matches they have scored 14 goals and conceded only five, including a 2-1 win over Persik Kediri.

Dewa United have also been decent going forward with nine goals, but their defence has been shakier after conceding eight in the same run. The club is also in the spotlight because their star winger Taisei Marukawa is going through the naturalisation process to play for the Indonesia national team.

Last weekend, Dewa United were also beaten 4-0 by Arema FC. That result was a hard lesson for their back line ahead of a home game against a side as strong as Persija. The hosts must be far more disciplined if they want to take anything from this match.

Dewa United vs Persija Head to Head

The head-to-head record favours Persija. In the last two meetings, Persija won 3-1 away at Dewa United and drew 1-1 in Jakarta. Dewa United are still looking for their first win over Macan Kemayoran in that period.

The official fixture list and competition rules are available on the league operator's website, I.League.
