Football Livescore | Match Prediction & Tips
--------------------------------
The East Java derby will take place when Arema FC host Persik Kediri in Week 17 of the 2025-26 BRI Super League. The match is scheduled to be held at Kanjuruhan Stadium on Sunday, January 11, 2026. Kick-off is set for 3:30 PM local time.
Team Analysis:
Arema FC are enduring a poor run of form, going winless in their last five matches and struggling badly at home with just one point from their previous six league games. The absence of Dalberto Luan has significantly weakened their attack, leaving the team scoreless in their last two matches and without a reliable replacement up front. Persik Kediri arrive in better overall shape despite a weak away record, with their main threat coming from dangerous set-piece situations led by Ezra Walian and Syahrian Abimanyu.
Player Situation:
Arema FC continue to face major challenges due to the absence of several key players, including Dalberto and Achmad Maulana, while captain Johan Farizi remains doubtful because of a lingering heel injury. These fitness issues have disrupted Arema’s squad balance and limited their options ahead of the match. In contrast, Persik Kediri arrive with a fully fit squad and no suspension concerns, though their away form in the 2025-26 season remains a weakness.
Result Prediction:
Despite Persik Kediri’s strong head-to-head record with five wins from the last six meetings, Arema FC are predicted to secure a narrow 1–0 victory. Playing at home is expected to give Arema a crucial boost, fueled by strong support from Aremania. The match is also seen as a key moment for Singo Edan to restore confidence and break their recent struggles at Kanjuruhan Stadium.
Predicted Result: Arema FC 1-0 Persik Kediri.
