Madura United vs PSIS Semarang Prediction: Don't Expect Many Goals

Madura United will face PSIS Semarang at the Gelora Bangkalan Stadium tomorrow ahead of the ninth matchday. Victory eluded the two sides last week with the two team trailing losses against their respective opponents. The last time the teams clashed, it was a 2-2 stalemate at the Jatidiri, Semarang home grounds. Does Madura have what it takes to upset the overhanging stalemate or will bottom table pessimism rock the affairs of the teams, who desperately need victory?

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

Madura United approaches this game with two stalemates and three losses, accruing two points in five recent league outings. Madura continues to struggle with their opponents, temporarily avoiding losses in the stalemates against Dewa United (3-3) and Persib Bandung (2-2).

At the Bangkalan, they have played four games to wield two losses and two stalemates, worsening established stats of the home team, who have not won against Semarang on their turf since 2019.

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

Semarang have one solitary point in their last five league encounters that produced one stalemate and four losses. Two consecutive defeats to Arema FC (2-1) and Persija Jakarta (2-0). Last week, the team suffered casualties against Persis Solo with Goalkeeper Adi Satryo and Defender R.Bonet conceding red cards, facing unavoidable replacements in their contest.

Their last five matches away from home produced one win, four losses and one stalemate - indicating the likelihood of a rough stretch on their home turf.

The last three meetings between the sides produced two Madura wins and one stalemate. While two matches produced a BTTS-NO, only one produced more than two goals, which doubled as a stalemate.

Madura is a rugged squad, and despite the worsening state of affairs in the teams, it is presumed that the total match goals between these two underperforming teams would be less than three. Our big hands are:

• Under 2.5 goals at 1.90 odds from Bet365.
• A BTTS-NO from Betway at 1.97 odds.
• A win for PSIS Semarang at 2.96 odds from 1xbet.
