Head-to-Head
- Bali United Pusam has won three of the last four head-to-head meetings in Liga 1.
- Bali United has the better recent record at home (W5, D6, L5) than Bhayangkara Presisi Indonesia FC have on the road (W5, D2, L9) this Liga 1 season.
Bali United
- Bali United are eighth in the Liga 1 2025/2026 standings with 45 points from 32 games, while Bhayangkara are seventh with 50 points from 32.
- Bali United have won two and lost three of their last five games and their last three home games have produced only one victory and two defeats - the most recent of which was a 2-3 home reverse against Borneo FC Samarinda.
- The recent appointment of Johnny Jansen as head coach has brought some structure to this team’s soccer, which is based around a possession-based 4-3-3 system that tries to build up the play patiently in the central areas.
- They press in zones and are more suited to the patient build-up than the high tempo.
Bhayangkara
- Bhayangkara have won three of their last five and are in excellent shape ahead of this game.
- Paul Munster has introduced an aggressive style of play, a direct and high-tempo philosophy in which fast vertical transitions are the aim.
- Bhayangkara will look to pressure high up the field to turn opponents over quickly and score goals by getting into the box.
- This clash of possession versus transition looks set to be a lively and open affair, with Bali United wanting to dictate play and Bhayangkara looking to expose them on the counter.
- The visitors have not managed a win in their last two away trips to Bali United, so home advantage will count for a lot here.
Key Players
- Irfan Jaya is Bali United’s main danger man, having scored two of the team’s six goals in their last five fixtures.
- Matias Mier is the leading scorer for Bhayangkara, netting six of their 15 goals in the same period.
