Reigning champions Persib Bandung will face PSBS Biak, a newly promoted team, in their season opener at Stadion Si Jalak Harupat. Persib aims to start strong in their quest to retain their title.

Under Paul Munster's management, Persebaya has adopted a more pragmatic approach. Bajul Ijo now focuses on strong defense. If this plan works well, the chance of gaining three points will be open. On the other hand, PSS Sleman might require some time to adjust. The new PSS players are very promising, but there are too many changes within the team. If PSS finds their rhythm and overcomes the pressure, they could earn points.

Persebaya Surabaya (4-3-3): Ernando Ari; Arief Catur, Kadek Raditya, Slavko Damjanovic, Mikael Tata; Gilson Costa, Mohammed Rashid, Francisco Rivera; Malik Risaldi, Flavio Silva, Bruno Moreira. Manager: Paul Munster.

The head-to-head record between PSS Sleman and Persebaya is not favorable. In the last six encounters, PSS has never won against Bajul Ijo. During this period, Persebaya won three times, and the remaining three matches ended in draws. Persebaya has a strong roster, including Francisco Rivera, who was the best player in BRI Liga 1 2023/2024. However, this does not make PSS captain Kim Kurniawan concede defeat before the match. "Rivera had an outstanding season with Madura United FC last year and was a crucial player for the team. We need to control Rivera’s movement to limit his impact on Persebaya's play," Kim said.

Persib Bandung began the BRI Liga 1 2024/2025 season with a resounding victory. Facing last season’s Liga 2 champions, PSBS Biak, Maung Bandung secured a 4-1 triumph. Persib’s goals were scored by David da Silva with a brace, and single goals from Beckham Putra and Ciro Alves. PSBS Biak managed to pull one back with a goal from Alexsandro Ferreira. With this win, Persib tops the BRI Liga 1 2024/2025 standings with three points, while PSBS Biak is at the bottom.

In addition to Rivera, Persebaya also has Gilson Costa and Mohamed Rashid in midfield. They were newly signed by Bajul Ijo at the beginning of the 2024/2025 season. They are expected to play a significant role. "So, we as players already know how he plays and how to anticipate his movements," said the former Persib Bandung player.

Last 5 matches for Persebaya Surabaya:

Persebaya is known for nurturing young talent, with successful examples such as Andik Vermansyah, Evan Dimas, Rachmat Irianto, Rizky Ridho, and Toni Firmansyah. For the 2024/2025 season, Alfan Suaib stands out. After a successful stint as a trainee last season, Alfan Suaib has caught the eye of coach Paul Munster during the pre-season. As a right winger, he could be a crucial player if Malik Risaldi or Kasim Botan are off form.

Persela Lamongan has been preparing meticulously for the 2024/2025 season. One of the ways the team, known as Laskar Joko Tingkir, has prepared is by recruiting well-known players to boost their squad for Liga 2 2024/2025. During the transfer window leading up to the 2024/2025 season, Persela Lamongan signed several high-profile players, including Samsul Arif, Esteban Vizcarra, Andik Rendika Rama, Risna Prahalabenta, and Hasim Kipuw. They also acquired Ezechiel Ndouasel and recently added one of the best local wingers, Wawan Febrianto. Despite the impressive squad, Persela Lamongan is not yet satisfied. They are rumored to be in negotiations to sign former Indonesian national team star, Andik Vermansah. For a detailed look at Persela Lamongan's current squad, see the full article below.
