Dewa United
- Dewa United FC have been in excellent form during the last few weeks, moving up to seventh place in the BRI Super League after 29 games played.
- United have amassed 44 points and have a positive goal difference in the top-flight with 13 wins so far this term.
- Dewa United are on a five-match unbeaten streak in Liga 1 2025-2026 (Won 4, Drawn 1).

- Olde Riekerink’s squad is set up to play a compact, possession-based game with Alex Martins Ferreira, Dewa’s leading scorer, providing a targetman and Indonesian winger Egy Maulana Vikri the pace and flair to get behind defences.
Semen Padang
- Imran Nahumarury’s men will be desperate for points to move away from the relegation zone, as they are currently 17th with 20 points.
- Imran took over as Semen’s head coach in March 2026 and has experimented with his starting line-up in search of a defensive structure that can help them avoid relegation.
- One thing has remained constant and that’s the presence of Brazilian striker Maicon de Souza da Silva, who remains a rare spark of quality.
- Semen set up with a pragmatic, compact defensive block and direct attacks on the break.
- Guillermo Fernández, midfielders Kianz Froese and Pedro Matos have provided service for striker Cornelius Stewart, but goals have been scarce as the visitors have failed to score in four of their past five league defeats.
