Football Livescore | Match Prediction & Tips
--------------------------------------
PSIM Yogyakarta will host Persebaya Surabaya in the 18th week of the BRI Super League on Sunday afternoon at Mandala Krida Stadium. The match carries significant weight for both sides as the standings remain extremely tight. Persebaya, in particular, are eager to respond after losing to PSIM in their first-round meeting this season.
Team Analysis:
PSIM Yogyakarta sit sixth in the standings with 30 points from 17 matches, just two points above Persebaya, making this clash crucial for both teams as they chase a stronger position ahead of the second round. PSIM come into the game with fairly steady form, highlighted by convincing wins over Madura United and Semen Padang, while managing the physical demands of a busy schedule. Persebaya arrive full of confidence after a 2-1 victory over Malut United that extended their unbeaten run in the league.
Player Situation:
PSIM face a major defensive setback ahead of this crucial match, with key center-back Franco Ramos Mingo suspended after a red card. His absence leaves a clear gap at the heart of their back line. Meanwhile, Persebaya are boosted by a refreshed squad under Bernardo Tavares, with new signings expected to add depth and attacking creativity on their debuts.
Result Prediction:
PSIM are expected to lean on home advantage and midfield stability to create chances from set pieces and quick transitions. The absence of key defender Franco Ramos, however, will seriously test their defensive resilience. Persebaya are likely to control possession and attack through the flanks, with midfield creativity playing a crucial role in breaking down PSIM’s back line.
Predicted Result: PSIM Yogyakarta 1-1 Persebaya Surabaya.
