Madura United vs Persib Bandung Prediction: Goals Would Be Recorded In Numbers

Last Five Matches: L-L-L-L-D

Madura’s performances in the last five matches seats them in the bottom spot — after four losses and a stalemate. The overall performance has been below commendable, and as such, morale in the home team is weakened, with only one point to show in the opening stage.

Madura United played Dewa United last week to a 3-3 stalemate in an overly impressive fashion that left the overconfident hosting outfit devastated.

Hope looks ignited for the side who push Pedro Monteiro forward as the man expected to handle the defence lines, in anticipation of their opposition, who are always heavy on the attack.

Three stalemates and two wins in five recent games perches Persib on the fourth branch of the league tree. The team plays with the dormant mentality of avoiding losses, with the initial three games resulting in gridlocks.

Persib Bandung crushed Persija Jakarta last week in a 2-0 encounter, conceding a red card. Their 4-2-3-1 formation produced excellent results, with frontman Dimas Drajad opening the scoring seven minutes before the end of the first half.

Kevin Ray Mendoza is the player in the spotlight, as his movement and ball control helps his team to stay focused on the attack.

The last five meetings between the sides registered four wins for Persib Bandung, two BTTS cases, and three cases of goals under 2.5.

On paper, Persib is inarguably the more stable team, but despite a defeat for Madura being the most predictable outcome, Madura United may not easily throw in the towel. We Expect Goals. Our picks are:
