Madura United vs PSIS Semarang Prediction: Don't Expect Many Goals

Madura United will face PSIS Semarang at the Gelora Bangkalan Stadium tomorrow ahead of the ninth matchday. Victory eluded the two sides last week with the two team trailing losses against their respective opponents. The last time the teams clashed, it was a 2-2 stalemate at the Jatidiri, Semarang home grounds. Does Madura have what it takes to upset the overhanging stalemate or will bottom table pessimism rock the affairs of the teams, who desperately need victory?
