Dewa United vs Madura United Prediction: Both Sides Will Easily Produce Goals

The Racing Bulls of Madura United are next to face Dewa United as the tension in the lower mid-region boils over with mediocrity — as seen in the first five league games. The visitors are desperate for a change in their fate as they are yet to taste their first victory since the inception of the new season. Pundits predict that the outcome follows the previous stalemate outcome, with little expectation of scoring from these two perceivable weak sides.

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

The hosting side, Dewa United, have been fortunate in the first five league games, with six points scavenged because of three stalemates, one loss and one win. Dewa’s 2-1 victory over PSIS Semarang was weakened last week against Persija Jakarta in the goalless stalemate incurred.

Anchorman Alex remains a threat in the striking position - with his shots intimidating to the opposition, who would be asked a barrage of goal-conceding questions.

Madura United (18th)

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