Persija Jakarta 2:1 PSM Makassar — Match Report

Persija Jakarta hold the better recent form, with three wins in five Liga 1 matches compared to PSM's one win in five. Persija have also been more solid defensively, conceding only three goals in that spell, while PSM have let in seven. This form disparity is reflected in the league table, where Persija sit third and PSM 13th.

Both teams have scored in five of the last nine meetings between these sides, but given PSM's poor recent scoring form — just two goals in five matches — the likelihood of a BTTS outcome is reduced. Persija's solid defense also suggests a low-scoring game. However, Persija have conceded in two of their last three home matches, so PSM have a chance. Our model leans toward under 2.5 total goals.
