The Indonesian league leaders Persib Bandung are pitted against PSBS Biak Numfor, the midtable occupants, with the consistent drill of the league telling on the team, who have been impressive in their ways despite being considered the underdogs in this fixture. While the visitors enjoy a considerable bias, the hosts, who lost the last direct pairing, will work double time even to enjoy the slightest whiff of decency.
Pre-match voting favoured victory toward the visitors, who were voted with a 55% bias.

Last Five Matches: W-W-W-W-D
League leaders Persib Bandung have taken four wins and one stalemate in the last five league appearances, displacing the previous owners of the top spot, Persebaya Surabaya, by two points.
The Bandung Tigers managed a 1-1 stalemate against Bali United last week, with the team failing to clinch victory despite playing against ten men. They lost the advantage early in the game, and while the fans despaired towards defeat, a literal last-minute equaliser equalled the scales.
Since they had a comfortable lead against PSBS Biak Numfor the last time, the team is expected to push aggression here to consolidate early victory despite the reticent form displayed the previous week. Their stellar form away from home is expected to continue here, given the massive anticipation of three points at full-time, despite being on strange turf.
