Following on from a loss in their previous game against Dewa United in Liga 1 action, Persebaya will be aiming to make amends here.
The forward players for Persebaya have been starved of goals in their past 6 games, recording the disappointing return of only 4. In those matches, Bajul Ijo have also seen the collective goal tally against them equal 6. Such a trend isnโt assured to be sustained into this next game, however.
