Persita Tangerang faces a crucial match when hosting Bali United in the 29th week of the BRI Super League 2025/2026 at Banten International Stadium on Thursday, April 23, 2026, at 3:30 PM local time.
This match is predicted to present a less-than-ideal situation for the home team. Persita is currently in a negative trend after suffering three consecutive defeats, all with a narrow score of 1-0.
In contrast, Bali United arrives with the momentum of a convincing 4-1 victory over Malut United FC. This performance shows the visitors’ attack line is in productive form.
Despite this, Persita gets a slight boost with the return of Aleksa Andrejic after missing out due to card accumulation. However, Javlon Guseynov is confirmed to be absent.
On the other hand, Bali United also loses several players such as Boris Kopitovic and Bagas Adi Nugroho due to card accumulation, as well as Brandon Wilson who is still injured.
Bali United still poses a threat from Diego Campos and Teppei Yachida, who have performed quite sharply in recent matches.
Persita coach Carlos Pena highlighted the team’s main issue of not being able to maximize opportunities up front.
“In terms of goals, I think our defense has been very solid throughout the season,” he said.
He assessed that his team still has the potential to score goals, but is currently losing momentum.
“Honestly, I think in football that can happen because of momentum. Because a month ago before Ramadan, we scored eight goals in two matches,” he continued.
Persita currently sits in 8th place with 41 points, only two points ahead of Bali United in 9th place.
Head-to-head records are also not very favorable for Persita. In the last seven meetings, Bali United has won three times, Persita has won only once, and the other three ended in draws.
