Dewa United vs Madura United Prediction: Both Sides Will Easily Produce Goals

The Racing Bulls of Madura United are next to face Dewa United as the tension in the lower mid-region boils over with mediocrity — as seen in the first five league games. The visitors are desperate for a change in their fate as they are yet to taste their first victory since the inception of the new season. Pundits predict that the outcome follows the previous stalemate outcome, with little expectation of scoring from these two perceivable weak sides.

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

The hosting side, Dewa United, have been fortunate in the first five league games, with six points scavenged because of three stalemates, one loss and one win. Dewa’s 2-1 victory over PSIS Semarang was weakened last week against Persija Jakarta in the goalless stalemate incurred.

Anchorman Alex remains a threat in the striking position - with his shots intimidating to the opposition, who would be asked a barrage of goal-conceding questions.

Madura Bulls have been beaten to a pulp in the first five games, occupying the league’s bottom spot after getting only one point. With poor pitch coordination and skill in front of the opposing goal, Madura United bears the underdog tag against High-scoring Dewa United.

Their perceived best man is 30-year-old defender Pedro Monteiro, who is expected to hold the last line of defense, even in the face of overwhelming strong-arming.

The last four meetings between the sides produced two stalemates and a win for either side, of three games that made a BTTS, only two registered strictly more than two goals (O2.5).

The two sides are sure to play to the end of their wits, but still, we expect goals to come, not from players' individual brilliance, but from defensive lineups.

• Our best bet would be Over 2.5 goals at 1.71 odds from 1xbet;
• A BTTS could also be an exciting alternative for 1.77 odds (Betway)
• Our last tip would be a win for Dewa United in both halves at 2.25 odds (bet365)
