PSM Makassar had raw cards dealt against them last week in the fixture against Arema FC, which ended in a 1-0 conversation. Makassar fielded a 4-3-3 formation, which proved inferior against Arema’s 4-2-3-1. Despite having ten shots in the game, none was venomous enough past the opposition’s goal line. They remain enormous favourites for this game, reinforced by the previous 3-1 victory won on the Batakan in the last clash.
PSIS Semarang (11th)
Recent Form: L-W-W-L-L
PSIS Semarang has taken two wins and three losses in the last five league clashes. The harshest defeats have been in the previous two league clashes against Dewa United and Persib Bandung – losing to a dominant 2-1 scoreline. Fernandinho’s red card implies a replacement in this clash. With a better pace, R.S Putra looks to fortify his position, but with less technicalities.
The side looks to reverse the previous loss by presenting a different style of play, preferably an all-attack, which should be a fresh breath for the fans.
H2H ANALYSIS (LAST THREE MEETINGS)
The last three meetings between the sides ended in two BTTS, with all games registering more than three goals. Semarang has won two of these three matchups.
