Persita Tangerang
- Persita Tangerang are a mid-table side in the 2025-2026 Liga 1 season, typically occupying between 5th and 7th place with around 25-28 points from 15 matches.
- Carlos Peña has implemented a deep, compact defensive system that is disciplined and tough to break down with the players he has at his disposal.
- Their players have a high work rate and they will sit in, absorb pressure and try to hit their opponents on the counterattack.
- Peña is well supported with a number of good players to work with, with the likes of Rayco Rodríguez a creative force in the number 10 role and Pablo Ganet a quality link-up player in transition.
Borneo FC Samarinda
- Fábio Lefundes’ Borneo FC are the 1.93 favourites here and they will arrive in Tangerang on Friday, maintaining a long unbeaten run against the hosts.
- Borneo have won 3 of their last 5 games, drawing 1 and losing 1, with a 2-1 away victory at PSM on January 3rd 2026 putting them at the top of the Liga 1 table with 34 points from 15 matches.
- Lefundes’ 4-3-3 system suits the width and depth of Borneo’s squad, whilst their high-energy forward pressing game is very difficult to play against as they look to win the ball back in advanced positions in order to transition into attacks at pace.
