vs Prediction, probable lineups, recent form & season stats

PSM Makassar are fifteenth with zero points after a single round of the new Liga 1, having lost with one goal scored against three conceded. Their last six outings overall tell of a tough run: a 1-2 home defeat to Arema FC in the most recent round; before that, in the previous season, a 1-3 defeat away at Persib Bandung, a 0-2 defeat away at Persepam Madura Utd and another 1-2 home defeat to Persib Bandung, while further back come a 0-3 defeat away at Arema FC and, further back still, the group's only win, 2-1 at home over Bhayangkara FC. Persita are eleventh with one point after one round: a draw, one goal scored and one conceded. In their last six outings overall they arrive on a 1-2 home defeat to Java United in the most recent round; before that, again in the previous season, a 1-1 draw away at PSIM Yogyakarta and a 1-3 home defeat to Persis Solo, with another 1-1 draw away at Java United further back and, further back still, two defeats, 0-3 at home to Persijap and 0-2 away at Pusamania Borneo. In head-to-head meetings the most recent one, in March, ended 2-4 to Persita away at PSM Makassar; before that, with venues reversed, Persita had already won 2-1 at home. Further back PSM Makassar had won 1-0 at home, while in the meeting before that, again with venues reversed, it was Persita who won 2-1 on their own ground. Going back further, PSM Makassar had won 4-0 at home, and in the most distant meeting, again with venues reversed, PSM won 1-0 away. The prediction may change in the hours before kick-off. Confirmed line-ups, late injuries, suspensions, rotation ahead of other fixtures and the state of the pitch and the weather can all alter the picture described above. In those cases the selection may be reviewed and updated within 12 to 24 hours of the match: this happens rarely, but when it does, the version published on this page is always the current one.
