Indonesia Super League Match Preview: Persebaya Surabaya vs. Persijap Jepara - Analysing Recent Form and Tactical Approaches Before Kick-Off

Based on recent match data, Persebaya Surabaya's performance has been highly inconsistent. In their last 10 matches, they have only managed 2 wins, 7 draws, and 1 loss, indicating a lack of consistent competitiveness in crucial battles. While Persebaya Surabaya has only scored in 3 out of 7 away games, their over goal rate is quite considerable. Their forward line has scored goals against Borneo FC and Persis Solo, but their defense has frequently conceded, especially against stronger opponents. In comparison, Persijap Jepara's performance is also not reassuring. This team has a record of 1 win, 1 draw, and 8 losses in the last 10 seasons. Despite the low win rate, their over goal rate is as high as 70%, suggesting they often create opportunities, but their overall weak ability to grasp these chances. Persijap Jepara's defensive issues are particularly prominent; they have conceded goals due to numerous ball losses in recent matches, particularly failing to effectively contain PSM Makassar and PS Sleman. From a tactical perspective, caution is needed when facing Persebaya Surabaya. Although Persebaya Surabaya's recent form fluctuates, they usually have some room for adjustment when playing at home. If their defense can effectively limit the opposition, they might find scoring opportunities. For Persijap Jepara, attacking players need to make more decisive use of every set-piece opportunity in the final third while also improving defensive intensity to reduce the risk of conceding goals. The head-to-head record does not show any significant pattern; the match is expected to feature alternating offensive and defensive phases. 12-28 16:30 Persebaya Surabaya Persijap Jepara Match direction: 2.5, Over
