Persija Jakarta Opens BRI Liga 1 2024/2025 with a Resounding Victory

Persija Jakarta tested various player combinations during the 2024 Presidential Cup. Carlos Pena should have identified the optimal lineup by now. If this is the case, Persija has a good chance of winning. Barito Putera has kept several crucial players, including Bayu Pradana and Rizky Pora, who can make a big impact with their experience. With some fortune, Barito Putera could potentially earn at least one point from this game.

On Sunday, August 11, 2024, PSIS Semarang will face Persita Tangerang in Week 1 of the BRI Liga 1 2024/2025 at Stadion Moch. Soebroto. The match is scheduled to start at 15:30 WIB and will be broadcast live on Vidio. PSIS Semarang won their last pre-season match 4-0 against Persekat Tegal, with Fernandinho scoring twice. It’s worth noting that Persekat Tegal is a Liga 2 team, which might not present a strong challenge. Persita Tangerang, on the other hand, won their final pre-season match 2-1 against PSS Sleman, with Ryuji Utomo scoring. Under coach Fabio Lefundes, Persita appears well-prepared for the new season. During the 2023/2024 season, PSIS and Persita each had one victory against each other. Persita won 2-0 at home, while PSIS triumphed 4-0 at their home ground. Will PSIS manage to avoid defeat at home this season?

Although PSS Sleman lost in the first week of BRI Liga 1, they shouldn’t be at the bottom of the table. There are four other teams that also lost and have worse goal differences. Nevertheless, PSS Sleman is at the bottom of the standings according to PT LIB. Moreover, there is a note indicating that PSS Sleman’s points have been reduced by three. This means that PSS Sleman began the season with a -3 point situation! Why did PSS Sleman get a three-point deduction? As of now, there is no explanation from the club, PT LIB, or PSSI. However, a hint has been provided by FX Harminanto, a journalist from Kedaulatan Rakyat. Harminanto mentioned that PSS Sleman received a (-3) point sanction according to the PT Liga Indonesia Baru standings table. This is related to a past issue affecting the team in 2018. Details will be released by the club soon. Friday, August 9, 2024 Saturday, August 10, 2024 Sunday, August 11, 2024 Monday, August 12, 2024
