Below is a preview of the team’s information, table, h2h, comparisons, and betting tips from our expert while the league edges to a conclusion.

Recent Form: W-L-W-L-D

Barito Putera has compiled seven points in the last five games - accumulating two wins, one stalemate, and two losses. In the previous direct clash between the sides, they fell to a 1-0 defeat. Barito’s 3-1 win against PSM Makassar last week was met with impressive reception from the fans, who were beginning to lose hope in the squad. The players, who were all shunned in the National team’s call-up, are expected to put on a great show in this game. Although the last direct clash against PSIS Semarang ended in a 1-0 defeat, they had a hearty 3-0 victory when the current guests visited the Sultan Agung.

Recent Form: L-L-W-L-D

Semarang’s slip from the third spot to the fifth standing resulted from conceding three losses in five recent games, with one win and a stalemate. The side is currently regarded as one of the most resilient sides in the league, with their winning brace broken by the 2-0 defeat to Borneo FC. In the just concluded International break, the team featured two players on the national team: Goalkeeper Adi Satyro and Defender Alfeangga Dewangga. Not much is expected from Semarang, as the odds are favorable towards the hosts, who enjoy pitch familiarity.

• PSIS Semarang has won thrice in five previous games against Barito Putera.
• In these three games, there have been three games featuring Over 2.5 Match goals.
• Two direct fixtures resulted in a BTTS-YES rating.
• Barito has scored more goals in recent games, with a tally of ten goals in five recent games - as against Semarang, who have only picked up three goals.

A lot of factors vary in this contest; regardless, we have tailored these three conclusions regarding this game:

• Barito Putera stands as the better side in this contest. Having pitch familiarity and a ravaging form in front of goal. Semarang, on the other hand, would not put up a fight. As such, our first preference would be a BTTS - YES between the sides. 1xbet proposes this at 1.56 odds;
• A direct home win is also considered a good bet ahead of this game. Betway renders this option at 2.05 odds.
• Although unlikely, a stalemate seems viable ahead of this game, given that Semarang’s squad is now back to original form, having rated from the rigors of the international break. Bet365 considers this option at 3.50 odds.

All the best, mate.
