Examining recent form, head-to-head records, and market odds, a prediction is made for the match outcome. Madura United's recent form presents a mixed bag. Their last five matches show a combination of draws, losses, and a single win. Conceding goals seems to be a recurring issue, with the team allowing goals in four of their last five games.
