The imminent game between The Red Fish of PSM Makassar and Malut United guarantees euphoria in the Indonesian Liga 1 conclusion of Matchday 15. With gross evidence of a struggle between these two teams languishing far from comfortable table positions, Makassar would try to outwit Malut United, a side that has proven far from what meets the eye.
Let's analyze both teams’ recent forms, key statistics, table placements, probable full-time correct scores, and my expert opinion.

The average performance of the Red Fish, who have had a decent run so far in the season, with five recent unbeaten games, remains the highlight of this game.
For a team that plays the midfield excellently with Daisuke Sakai and Latyr Fall holding the reins in both wings, nothing less than victory should be expected from this team
Recently stacked with fixtures against league controllers like Bali United Borneo FC, fans have seen Bernardo Tavares’ men maintain maximum composure while battling league fatigue.
Malut United’s Form: D-D-W-W-D
Malut United continues to underperform, fumbling away points of victory with four losses and six stalemates in the last fourteen games. The porosity of their back lines remains brow-raising, with more goals conceded than scored.
Malut remains a slight underdog despite holding the fort down in the last five league games, which has produced three stalemates and two wins. If the team is to stay head above water, they must focus primarily on playing far from their last ten yards – something they have not mastered on recent plays.
Interesting Facts:
- PSM Makassar has neither lost nor won their last four games away from home.
- Malut United scored at least a goal in their last two home games.
- Across the board, Makassar has been unbeaten in their last eleven games.

Expert Betting Tips
Considering team variants and form dynamics revealed by the teams in recent performances, I firmly believe the visitors would seize glory before full-time. Malut United has many problems in its defense, which visitors will most likely take advantage of. As such, it is easier to tip the hosts for a probable defeat despite being the one familiar with the grounds.
Prediction: Malut United 0-1 PSM Makassar
Betting Tips:
- Under 2.5 goals in the match (Bet365 Odds 1.60 ) – Makassar is deemed to have mastered the Score-and-Shutdown technique. They never play high-scoring games, hence this option.
- PSM Makassar to win (1xbet Odds 2.89 ) – Makassar remains the most undefeated team in the league, and Malut sometimes may give goals away,
- Both Teams Not To Score (Betway Odds 1.73 ) – Makassar's last lines would shut off advances from Malut United, suggesting that either none or only the visitors would feature on the scoreboard.
These bets offer great value, and given the comparative strength of both sides, we expect a more physical than a technical affair in this contest, which may be riddled with yellow cards.
