Persebaya Has Chance to Overtake Dewa United for Second Place in Liga 1

Opportunity to Rise in the Standings

Persebaya Surabaya has a golden opportunity to move into second place in the Liga 1 2024/2025 standings. A victory over Arema FC at Kapten I Wayan Dipta Stadium, Gianyar, would see them surpass Dewa United.

Currently, the Green Force sits in third place with 52 points from 29 matches, trailing Dewa United by just one point. Dewa United, however, has already completed 30 games, giving Persebaya a crucial advantage.

A win against Arema FC would lift Persebaya to 55 points, securing the runner-up position and strengthening their pursuit of Liga 1 success.

Positive Record Against Arema FC

Persebaya Surabaya enters the match with strong confidence, supported by a positive track record against Arema FC. The Green Force has consistently performed well in derby matches, often overcoming intense pressure to secure critical victories. This psychological edge could play a crucial role as they push for a crucial three points.

Previous Meeting Highlights

Earlier this season, Paul Munster’s squad demonstrated their resilience by defeating Arema FC 3-2, even after being reduced to ten men. That remarkable win not only boosted morale but also reinforced their dominance over their city rivals.
