PSS Sleman vs Madura United Prediction: The Visitors Have Been Piss-Poor In Recent Games

The Racing Bulls of Madura United will play against PSS Sleman ahead of the seventeenth matchday of the league, with the feature epitomizing a clash between a declining mid-table side and the bottom-barrel table side, the team occupying the most unfortunate spot in the league.

Three losses, one stalemate, and one win in the last five league outings put the team in a precarious situation, with the odds enormous against the side for a competitive outing. Despite scoring in the previous five league games, Sleman has been unfortunate in three, where the lead slipped through their fingers.

In my opinion, the team does well offensively, but the porous nature of the midfield puts them in compromising spots, where they become exposed to goal-inducing counterattacks or fouls.

Gustavo Tocantins has a sharp mind on the team and is one of the few expected to deliver consistently against the opposition. As a big name, he knows the odds against his team, and I’m sure he needs no introduction to the opposition as his reputation in front of goal preceded him.

The Racing Bulls are rumored to have been slowed in their tracks this season, with a catalog of morale-diffusing exhibitions where they have lost valuable points in defeat to opposing pairings. Both home and away, they have been piss-poor, and a few goals here may not be sufficient enough to help them stay above the zone threat.

Another factor of failure is the fact that the team barely scores. If they work on their attacking form, they may be fortunate to clinch a few instrumental wins before the season officially concludes.

• Madura lost six games in a row before the recent home win against Bali United.
• Sleman has not scored more than two goals in the last five home games.
• Madura has lost the most recent three away games.

This fixture features a dastard clash between the worst team in the league and one of the few declining sides. A win for Madura may be a stretch, but not impossible.

Prediction: Madura United 1-0 PSS Sleman

I have compiled the following as viable betting options for this game:

• BTTS -NO (Betway 1.95 odds) — the teams are poor on the attack. I expect that only Madura scores or no side registers on the scoresheet.
• Under 2.5 (Bet3651.90 odds) — This is the most dominant score trend between the sides, with the 0-0 and 1-1 score lines still hemming on the edges of this game.
• A win for Madura United (1xbet 3.41 odds) — For a team that displayed brilliantly against Balu United last week, I expect them to be in the same spiritus tomorrow.
