Persija Jakarta vs Madura United Prediction: Victory Belongs To The Hosts

The Kemayoran Tigers of Persija Jakarta pick Round 6’s burning torch in preparation for the hostile visit from the Racing Bulls of Madura United as the concluding game. Persija holds a pre-match winning preference because they won the last meeting between the sides and are currently looking better on paper. It is a game filled with expectations for the two sides.

Persija Jakarta has taken eight points from the last five league meetings for two wins, one loss and two stalemates. The 2-0 victory over PSIS Semarang set the right tone for the previous week's fixture against Arema FC, which produced a 2-1 cruising victory.

The Tigers have had an unbeaten home run since the start of the season, playing the last four home games to produce two wins and two stalemates.

Marko Simic is expected to tie up all loose ends, with his excellent positioning providing confidence up front for his teammates who would be looking to him for answers.

Madura United has five games under their belts, with two losses, two stalemates, and one win, and they have compiled five points across five games. They bounced back from the unexpected 2-0 defeat to PSM Makassar to reclaim victory steps last week in the 2-0 game against PSIS Semarang.

The team continues to struggle away from home, with the previous five games producing four defeats and one stalemate.

Muhammed Ihamayah is expected to execute crew-cut duels in the midfield, helping both the attack and defence win the ball – crucial to their positioning.

The last three meetings between the sides produced two wins for Madura United and one for Persija Jakarta. With only one game producing a BTTS, two of these meetings report less than three goals (U2.5)
