PSBS Biak Numfor vs PSM Makassar Prediction: Home Advantage Here Counts For Nothing as Guests Remain Favorites For Victory

Promotees from the Indo Liga 2 play their second elite game against incumbent side PSM Makassar at the Kapten Stadium, hoping for a quick reversal after a wretched first-day outing. The visitors enjoy a huge preference for victory here, running off the momentum of the first-day conquest enjoyed last week against Persis Solo. The season's first few games would test the mettle of the hosting outfit as they face a handful of the best teams in the league.

Last Five Matches: L

Biak Numfor are in for a strain in this clash, playing against one of the most attack-oriented sides in the Indonesian elite league. Matchday 1 ended in a quick 4-1 defeat against Persib Bandung, third-place holders last season. They currently face the winners of the silverware in this game, who are heavily tipped to create chaos in their camp before the first 45 minutes of the league. They would need to defend ferociously, as an attempt to be careless would result in tremendous suffering. They scored a goal against Persib, so the tendency for a goal cannot be ruled out completely.

Recent Form: - W

Things for Makassar look promising, as their first-day outing provided victory, topped with a clean sheet. The game saw the side seal triumph before the end of the first half after slotting two goals against Persis Solo, finishing the deal with less than fifteen minutes to the end of the game. Undoubtedly, they are expected to clinch victory, and any surprises would be extremely disappointing for the side that finished in first place last season.

H2H ANALYSIS (LAST FIVE MEETINGS)
