Malut United vs Bali United Prediction: The Visitors Are Better Structured

The wall of the Sultan Agung reverberates as Malut United clashes horns with Bali United ahead of the Indo Liga 1 Round 6. Victory eluded the two sides last week as Malut suffered a beating while Bali United managed to share the spoils. Being the first time the two sides would clash in a while, the onus is on the visitors to maintain momentum while the new side, Malut, struggles to find their footing in the league.

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

Malut United's much-anticipated momentum dropped in last week's 1-0 game against Borneo FC, which is currently the league leader. The game saw the team hold on till the 78th minute, after which all efforts to equalise proved futile before the final blow of the whistle.

They have been unbeaten on their turf since the season’s beginning, winning 2-1 against Semen Padang and maintaining a goalless stalemate against the Green Crocodiles of Persebaya Surabaya.

Defender Yance Sayuri looks to reinstate confidence in their supporters. With his excellent passing tactics, he relies on getting the ball away from the defences as quickly as possible.

Malut United has six points from the last five league games, courtesy of three stalemates, one loss and one win.

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

Bali United Pusam looks to end their goalless brace in this clash, playing 0-0 against Arema FC and PSS Sleman in the last two consecutive games. The visitors, who consider these games a fresh breath of air, are expected to return to their peak performance swing as the loss to Borneo dampened their momentum in subsequent games.

Their away form has been inconsistent, with two losses and one win in three recent games.

Ricky Fajrin Saputra is the one tipped to be distinguished in this game, as his defensive play is expected to keep the opposition at bay while reintegration plays with his teammates on the frontlines.
