Persebaya Surabaya vs Malut United Prediction: Malut Is Difficult To Play Against

To usher in the week, the Green Crocodiles of Persebaya Surabaya are pitted against the Gamalama Dragons of Malut United in anticipation of a cruising victory at the expense of the resilient guests. This game arouses concerns as the two sides share woes in two recent consecutive losses. The onus favors the hosts' superior squad quality, home advantage, and pitch familiarity.

My analysis and overview should help put things in perspective. Also, don’t forget to go through my well-thought-out tips, having considered the team’s statistics and player data.

Persebaya Surabaya (2nd)

Recent Form: W-D-W-L-L

Having relegated their winning stride to close chasers Persib Bandung by the recent six-point drop, the Green Crocodiles of Persebaya will test their mettle again despite losing against PSS Sleman in a disgraceful 3-1 exhibition that saw the side trail relentlessness against the underdog-tipped opposition.

Persebaya’s problem is in the midfield, where the player ranks mediocre performances. Head Coach Maxola must consider squad rotation to rediscover and clog all loopholes.

Target man Flavio Silva is tipped as the player to make a unique difference. His speed on the ball and clinical acumen make him a danger in 1-v-1 situations and an obvious target for takedowns by opposing defenders.

Malut United (12th)

Recent Form: L-D-W-L-L

The Gamalama Eagles have a stockpile of readjustments to avoid the apparent path of a losing hat trick. Over the last two domestic league fixtures, the team suffered identical 1-0 losses against Persija Jakarta and Madura United.

Malut United’s attack is the problem. They have only scored nineteen goals in eighteen games while conceding twenty, leaving a deficit of one. While the strikers register an average of a goal per game, the team must find ways to take advantage of every scoring chance if they're to be considered more than league strugglers.

CRUCIAL FACTORS TO CONSIDER

• The last direct meeting between these sides ended in a goalless stalemate.
• The hosts have scored and conceded in all home games.
• The visitors have not scored in all away games but have conceded.
• Corner kicks are vital to the teams, with at least five corners guaranteed for each side.
