Persib Bandung vs Persita Tangerang Prediction: Home Win & Goals

Persib Bandung plays against Persita Tangerang at the Gelora Lautan Api Stadium as the sixteenth round of the Indo Liga 1 goes underway. The second-best team in the league squares against a struggling mid-table side who can barely keep it together in the face of tense pressure. I think this will be a very straightforward game, and all points will be in favor of the hosting outfit.

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

The Bandung Tigers have played five recent league games unbeaten, with four wins and a stalemate. Their near-perfect form was made clear last week against Barito in the 2-1 full-time reading that saw the team push for a last-minute demoralizing penalty.

A lot of names shine in that game, with defensive left-back Gustavo Franca leading names like Klok and target man Tyronne. I also think that Ciro Alves is also a man who can quickly turn the tides.

The conservative 3-4-3 helps cover grounds in both the midfield and flanks, with an extra player running around as a dummy drummer and a false 9! when the chance avails.

Last Five Matches: W-L-W-W-L

Persita Tangerang pushes from the tenth spot with three wins and two losses in five recent games. For a team that plays a lot of attacking football, last week’s 4-0 loss to Dewa United in a match that saw them fail from the early minutes of the first half was a massive embarrassment.

It is for a fact that they have been solid away from home, with three wins, one stalemate, and one loss in five games.

• Persita's last four games produced Over 2.5.
• Persita has scored in three of five away games.
• Persib has won all three recent home games.

While the last three recent clashes between the sides have been highly high-scoring, the two sides have shown that they are both capable of bagging goals.

Persib plays a lot of attacks, and with the mirror image nature offered by the opposing challengers, we expect a high-attack game in this contest.

Persib 2 - 1 Persita Tangerang

• Over 2.5 (Bet365 1.66 odds) - Due to the level of attacking play between the sides, I think over three goals should be adequate here.
• BTTS (Betway 2.05 odds) - The two sides should register goals before full-time, in my opinion.
• Persib to win both halves (1xbet 1.90 odds) - Home advantage should be key as a factor here, especially as the home squad has won all recent home games.
