PSS Sleman vs Arema FC Prediction: Are We Expecting Another Home Victory For Sleman?

The atmosphere at the Manahan darkens ahead of Round 6 as Arema FC clashes with PSS Sleman with enthusiasm reeking from the two camps who were fortunate to skip losses last week. The hosts would be looking to topple their previous 4-1 home victory over Arema, who by the way are full of (un)pleasant surprises.

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

PSS Sleman has been unfortunate in the last five league games, with the stench of redundancy plaguing the team after three losses and two stalemates.

The goalless stalemate against Bali United Pusam last week was a stagnant progress threshold over the previous 1-1 tie against Borneo FC, the current league leaders.

Sleman is yet to produce a home victory this season, and with a team like Arema who are basking off victory, it looks like the much-awaited home win would be delayed.

Fachrudin Wahyudi Aryanto is the man of the moment, strong in the last lines as his firm rebuttals have preserved them against ravaging teams, who look to tram over his team for league glory.

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

Arema FC has managed to keep appearances, with one win, three stalemates and one loss in the last five league matches.

Although the team has racked in stalemates against Persib Bandung (1-1), Arema (0-0) and Dewa United (0-0), they have been upstanding against teams considered favourites. Last week’s victory over PSM Makassar was a testament to the ream’s resilience, pushing a narrow 1-0 lead eight minutes after half time to the full-time whistle blow.

The top man is Dalberto, saviour of the team last week against the most recently displaced league leaders, Makassar.

H2H ANALYSIS (LAST THREE MEETINGS)

Three meetings between the sides produced two Sleman victories and two BTTS cases that also resulted in over 2.5 goals.

Arema-Sleman has produced goals in the not-too-distant past, but this time, there has not been much to indicate the prevalence of the goal trend. Our best picks are

• Under 2.5 goals at 1.80 odds from Bet365.
• A BTTS -NO at 1.94 odds from Betway.
• A stalemate at 3.20 odds from 1xbet is also a very good bet here.
