Bali United
- Bali United can bounce back from recent away defeats with a home win over Malut United when the two sides meet on Sunday in an exciting clash of contrasting tactical styles.
- Bali United have won two, lost two and drawn one of their last five games in all competitions.
- 6-1 blowout of PSBS Biak was the biggest win of the 2025-2026 season and showed the set-piece prowess and multi-goal threat that Johnny Jansen has created since taking the reins in 2025.
- Bali United are a possession-based side with a high tempo and proactive pressing style.
- Their two most direct attackers are Teppei Yachida and Diego Campos, both of whom scored in recent matches and both of whom can be a threat to Malut on Sunday.
Malut United
- Malut United are direct and wide, too, but their success comes from getting the ball in behind with crosses and balls over the top and then hitting teams on the break.
- Hendri Susilo’s pragmatism has seen Malut, who have one of the league’s best goals per game, reach the top four.
- David Aparecido da Silva leads the way with 15 - 16 goals, making him the top scorer and primary danger man.
- But Ciro Alves and Tyronne del Pino can cause plenty of problems too, with Tyronne among the league’s assist leaders and both equally capable of creating and finishing chances in transition.

Bali United have faced Malut United three times in Liga 1 since September 2024, winning once and drawing twice, with no defeats against Malut.

Betting Insights
Malut are the slight favorites at 2.24 , but Bali United make plenty of appeal at 2.97 with a draw at 3.14 , and the BTTS - Yes market is priced at 1.54 .
Prediction
- Jansen has done a brilliant job in Bali since 2025, making the team quick in transition and structured in how they press and attack.
- Malut’s defence is compact and can be hard to break down, but if Bali can be patient and work the flanks, they should have a good chance of breaching the 4th-placed side’s defence.
- I’m leaning towards a 1-1 draw or a 2-1 Bali win.
