Bhayangkara (home)
- Bhayangkara Presisi Indonesia FC are a mid-table team with 26 points from 19 matches, 17 points fewer than leaders Borneo FC Samarinda (43 points), but still in contention to break into the top half of the 2025-2026 Liga 1 standings.
- Paul Munster’s men have won two, drawn one and lost two of their last five league games, but appear to be on an upward curve after beating Dewa United at home and suffering heavy away defeats.
- Ilija Spasojević is Bhayangkara’s most dangerous player and can find a pass, but has only hit the back of the net four times this season.
- Captain Awan Setho Raharjo is a leader on the field and his shot-stopping is the cornerstone of their defensive strategy.
Borneo (away)
- Fábio Lefundes’ team are right where they need to be with 43 points from 19 games, firmly in the title race and with one of the league’s best records.
- The Borneo boss sets his midfielders in a structured way, but his team have enough flexibility to be high pressing, sit deep in a compact block or turn on the pace in transition - which has been key to their consistency this season.
- Mariano E. Peralta has been in good form with around 9 - 10 goals for the season, was the match winner in the reverse fixture and will be keen to repeat that in the next matchup in Bandar Lampung.
Head-to-Head
- Borneo have dominated H2H clashes in recent years, winning the last 3 meetings by a 7-0 aggregate score.
- Bhayangkara have failed to score in the last 3 H2H league clashes.

Betting Insights
- The odds are all over the place for this fixture with Borneo the short-price 1.99 favourites, Bhayangkara are 3.72 outsiders and the draw is available at 3.02.
- Borneo have enough possession to control the game and Bhayangkara can still hurt on set pieces and crosses.
- The Under is available at 1.55, which is attractive in this fixture, given the recent H2H records and the fact that Borneo have won three of their last five games, beating Persis Solo and PSIM Yogyakarta back-to-back in their most recent matches.
Prediction
Given Borneo’s superior league position, form over the past few games and the dominant H2H record, a single-goal Borneo win and 1-1 draw are the only outcomes with any value, but the Under bet is the safest play in this matchup.
