PSM Makassar (Away)
- The visitors have won four, drawn four and lost eight away from home in Liga 1 2025-2026.
- PSM have won three of their last five games, however, they have lost their last two games and will need to improve to get the three points on Saturday.
- Tomas Trucha has instilled a sense of discipline and a counter-attacking mentality since his appointment as manager in late October, with his preferred 3-5-2 system allowing the two strikers to create danger on the counter attack while the three centre-backs remain compact at the back.
Head-to-Head
PSM have won both of the last two head-to-heads between these two teams, and they claimed a 3-1 victory in this fixture last season.
