FC Bhayangkara vs PersebayaPrediction, probable lineups, recent form & season stats

Opening matchday of Liga 1 at the Sumpah Pemuda in Bandar Lampung, where Bhayangkara FC restart after an uneven end to the previous campaign: 7-0 against PSBS Biak Numfor, then 1-4 at Bali United, 3-1 over Persepam Madura Utd, 1-2 at PSM Makassar and a 2-4 home loss to Persib Bandung. Five matches with fourteen goals scored but plenty conceded too. Persebaya Surabaya arrive off a steadier run in the Piala Presiden: 1-1 away at Persib Bandung, then three straight wins, 1-0 over Arema FC, 2-1 against Port FC and 1-0 against PSMS Medan, plus a 1-0 win over Persija. The head-to-head is balanced: in the most recent meeting, played at Persebaya's ground, Bhayangkara won 1-2, while in November 2025 the sides drew 1-1. Further back there is a 1-0 and a 1-2 for Persebaya and a 1-0 for Bhayangkara. The prediction may change in the hours before kick-off.
