Persijap Jepara (Home)
- Jepara are a counter-attacking team, especially at home, so their 4-1-3-2 will be compact and trying to absorb pressure.
- Mario Lemos, who took charge in February 2026, has implemented a much more compact structure and greater discipline in transition, which has produced some very good results for the hosts.
- Jepara have won six, drawn three and lost seven of their 16 home games this term, scoring 1.06 goals per game and conceding 1.19.
Borneo FC (Away)
- Borneo FC will bring red-hot form into Sunday’s Liga 1 game against Persijap Jepara as they seek to further their challenge for the title.
- The visitors are second with 75 points from 32 games, while Jepara are 13th with 34 from the same number of matches, so the away side are the favourites here.
- Borneo’s style of play under manager Fabio Lefundes, who instills an intense pressing game in the players, is to dominate possession and territory, but it has made his team one of the most organised and relentless in Liga 1 in terms of pressing.
- The visitors are unbeaten in their last five matches, with four wins and a draw, including back-to-back away wins, and all of their last three fixtures saw both teams score.
- The 21 goals they have conceded in 16 away fixtures suggests they are not impregnable at the back and, with Jepara’s forwards a pacey bunch, there should be some counter-attacking chances.
Key Players
But their success has also been built on the goals of striker Mariano Peralta , who has scored three of their last 10 .
Betting Insights
- The odds of 1.66 for both teams to hit the net are too low, in our opinion, and we are passing on those for the 1.71 for over 2.5 goals as well.
- The clash of Borneo’s high press and Jepara’s deep block should lead to a chess match, but we are expecting both transition speed and defensive discipline to be tested in an open, end-to-end clash.
Prediction
- Borneo FC should win this if they can keep up their recent form, but Jepara can make it interesting for the visiting side.
- Both sides will probably score in what promises to be an open, attacking affair.
