-----------------------------
Persita Tangerang will host Borneo FC at Indomilk Arena in Week 17 of the BRI Super League on Friday, January 9, 2026. The match is expected to be competitive, with both teams aiming to secure important points to improve their league positions. Kick-off is scheduled for 15:30 WIB, setting the stage for an intense afternoon encounter.

Team Analysis:
Persita Tangerang are in strong form after winning their last three matches and showing defensive improvement, conceding only twice in their previous five games. Borneo FC arrive with renewed confidence following a much-needed victory over PSM Makassar, ending a four-match winless run. However, their recent defensive struggles and a dip in attacking sharpness could be decisive factors in this encounter.

Player Situation:
Aleksa Andrejic and Rayco Rodriguez have been key figures in Persita’s attack, combining goals and creativity to drive the team forward. Andrejic leads the scoring charts with five goals, while Rodriguez has contributed eight assists and remains a constant threat. In contrast, Borneo FC are struggling with limited squad depth, making rotation and impact from the bench a major concern amid a busy schedule.

Result Prediction:
The head-to-head record favors the visiting side in this matchup. Persita Tangerang have failed to secure a win against Borneo FC in their last five meetings. Their most recent clash at Indomilk Arena also ended in victory for Borneo FC, underlining the visitors’ dominance.

Predicted Result: Persita Tangerang 1-0 Borneo FC.
