Team Analysis:
The match is expected to be closely contested, with Dewa United holding a slight home advantage despite both sides coming in with recent wins. Dewa United ended their winless run with an away victory and have maintained a perfect record in their last two home matches. Arema FC also regained confidence after beating Persik, snapping a long drought, though their recent away form has been mixed.

Player Situation:
Dewa United are expected to line up in a 4-3-3 formation led by Sonny Stevens in goal and a forward trio featuring Taisei Marukawa, Alex Martins, and Stefano Lilipaly. Their midfield is set to be anchored by Ricky Kambuaya, Hugo Gomes, and Alexis Messidoro to support an attacking approach. Arema FC are likely to respond with a 4-2-3-1 setup, relying on Lucas Frigeri at the back and Dalberto Luan Belo as the main focal point up front.

Result Prediction:
Dewa United are known for their aggressive midfield approach and quick counterattacks, especially when playing at home. Arema FC prefer a more possession-based and tactical style, although they often struggle to turn control into goals. With head-to-head records balanced, league positions close, and recent form evenly matched, the match is expected to be a tight contest.

Predicted Result: Dewa United 1-1 Arema FC.
