Arema FC finds themselves outside the top 15 in the Indonesia Super League after 15 rounds. With no chance of climbing higher, they are now playing for pride. Their recent form has been poor, with only 2 wins, 4 draws, and 4 losses in their last 10 matches, according to the December 23rd analysis. Persita Tangerang is also languishing in the lower part of the table, free from significant pressure. Their form has been improving recently, evidenced by a 3-0 home victory against PSKC on December 21st and a 0-0 draw against the strong PSM Makassar on November 23rd. They are undefeated in their last 3 matches with 2 draws and 1 win. However, their away form is a weakness, with a dismal record of only 2 wins, 5 draws, and 10 losses in their last 17 away games. Arema FC's attack relied on their attacking core, Dalberto, who scored 7 goals in the 2024 season, becoming the team's main scorer. However, the team's high average goals conceded suggests significant issues in their defensive coordination. They struggle to defend against counter-attacks and are often unable to handle stronger opponents. Persita Tangerang has a style of weak offense but strong defense. Their attacking firepower is too focused, with Greek center-forward, Okampoo, accounting for 33.3% of the team's goals, while other forwards have weak scoring abilities, making their attack easy to be targeted and limited by the opponent.
