Head-to-Head
Malut United defeated Borneo FC 3-0 at home in the last Liga 1 fixture between the clubs but have never won away.
Borneo FC Samarinda
- Fabio Lefundes’ side play a pro-active, attack-minded 4-3-3, in which they focus on midfield dominance and linking up in the forward line.
- Mariano Peralta, who has three of Borneo’s last nine goals, is one of the South American profile players that they deploy in the centre of this system, where they look to dominate.
Malut United FC
- Malut United are a more direct, counter-attacking side that will try to get their talented forwards on the run.
- Yance Sayuri has three of their last seven goals and is one of the pacey wide players that will be crucial to Hendri Susilo’s 4-2-3-1 system.
- The visitors will try to use the width of Yakob Sayuri and Frets Butuan to stretch the play, but the statistics and head-to-head record suggests that Borneo will win this.
Betting Insights
- Borneo are 1.5 odds to win on Saturday and that looks very short for a side that have been so consistent in this league.
- Over 2.5 goals is 1.48 and that might not be far off, although we suspect Malut will struggle to breach a Borneo FC defence.
- Both teams to score - No is at 2.19 and we are happy to go against that in the belief that Borneo FC should dominate this match from the start and outscore the away side in a low-scoring game.
Prediction
- Borneo FC Samarinda should have the upper hand over Malut United FC in what is likely to be an end-to-end game of football on Saturday.
- We will take the visitors to get something from the game, particularly as they can come out of the box quickly and score.
