Persib Bandung vs Port FC: President’s Cup Prediction (06.07.2025)

On July 6, 2025, at 15:30 WIB, a President’s Cup match between Persib Bandung and Port FC will take place at Si Jalak Harupat Stadium in Bandung, West Java, Indonesia. Both teams are prominent representatives of their respective leagues, so a competitive clash is expected. Below is an analysis of the teams’ current form and our prediction for the match.

Persib Bandung

Persib is one of the most recognized football clubs in Indonesia. They recently became league champions for the second consecutive season. However, this title only grants them access to the second division of the AFC Nations League. The President’s Cup, on the other hand, is more of a preseason tournament, giving the coaching staff a chance to rotate the squad. Moreover, the club has signed several new players who can be tested in this match setting.

Offensively, the team relies on Brazilian foreign players. However, there is still no confirmation whether last season’s top scorer, Tyrone, has renewed his contract. The Spanish attacking midfielder’s contract expired on June 30.

Port FC

Port FC represents Thailand. They finished only in fifth place in the domestic league last season, which ended in the spring. The team last played an official match on April 30. The new season is expected to begin around September. On one hand, the players have had enough time to rest. On the other hand, it is uncertain what physical shape they will be in during this offseason period.

There will likely be changes in the squad, but the core of the team should remain intact as most of their key players are on long-term contracts.

Stats and Head-to-Head Record

The two teams met twice last season in the AFC Champions League. Port FC managed to win the away match 1-0. The return leg in Thailand ended in a 2-2 draw.

Prediction

For the match between Persib Bandung and Port FC, we predict a game with goals from both sides. Under normal circumstances, a bet on a 0 handicap for the home team could be considered. Home support and a recent league title are definitely factors in Persib’s favor.

However, there’s still uncertainty regarding the lineup Persib will field. Meanwhile, the Thai side is also in the middle of their offseason, which could affect their match fitness and defensive cohesion. Therefore, we recommend betting on “both teams to score – Yes.”
