Team Reviews
PSIS Semarang are entering this Indonesia Liga 2 (Championship 2025/2026, Group 2) Matchday 5 clash at Stadion Jatidiri, Semarang, on October 20, 2025, in a rebuilding phase, sitting 6th in Group 2 with 5 points from 4 matches (1 win, 2 draws, 1 loss). Their recent form shows one win and three draws in the last four league games, including a 1-1 draw against Persik Kediri and a 2-1 loss to Deltras Sidoarjo. They've scored 4 goals and conceded 3, averaging 1.0 goal scored and 0.8 conceded per game. At home, PSIS have won one of two, with their goalkeeper keeping one clean sheet. Coach's 4-3-3 relies on a key forward's finishing (1 goal) and midfielder's creativity. No major injuries are reported, but the team's limited depth is a concern. PSIS will leverage their home crowd to challenge Persipura and climb the group standings.
Persipura Jayapura are in a transitional spot, sitting 4th in Group 2 with 7 points from 4 matches (2 wins, 1 draw, 1 loss). Their recent form includes two wins and one draw in the last four league games, with a 2-0 win over Persiba Balikpapan and a 1-1 draw against Deltras Sidoarjo. They've scored 6 goals and conceded 2, averaging 1.5 goals scored and 0.5 conceded per game. Away form is mixed, with 1 win in 2 road games. Coach's 4-2-3-1 depends on a striker's finishing (2 goals) and winger's pace. No major injuries are noted. Persipura will aim to maintain their unbeaten run and exploit PSIS's defensive inconsistencies, targeting the group lead.
Head to Head
PSIS Semarang and Persipura Jayapura have met 5 times in recent seasons, with Persipura winning 3, PSIS 1, and 1 draw, averaging 2.4 goals per game. Persipura won the last 2 encounters, including a 2-1 away victory in 2024. At Jatidiri, PSIS won their only home game against Persipura (1-0 in 2023), with 1 draw. Both teams scored in 60% of the last 5, but Persipura kept 2 clean sheets in the last 3. PSIS's 1-1 Persik draw and Persipura's 2-0 Persiba win suggest a competitive, potentially low-scoring game.
Prediction
PSIS's home form (1 win in 2) gives them hope, but Persipura's unbeaten run (2 wins, 1 draw) and superior attack (1.5 goals per game) make them favorites. PSIS's defense (0.8 conceded per game) could hold firm, but Persipura's form should prevail. I predict a 1-0 Persipura win, with their striker scoring. Persipura's win probability is around 55%, reflecting their 2-0 Persiba win and PSIS's 2-1 Deltras loss. Expect Persipura to edge possession (around 52%) and corners (6-8), with PSIS relying on counters. The game will be cautious, with Persipura securing three points to stay in the promotion hunt.
