Looking at recent performances, PSIM Yogyakarta's home form, while not exceptional, shows a degree of resilience, with a draw and a win in their last two home games. Their recent away form has been a mixed bag, with a loss against Persija Jakarta, and two draws. Semen Padang, on the other hand, has struggled in their away games recently, conceding a significant number of goals to Madura United and also losing to Persik Kediri. Injury news could also impact the game. PSIM Yogyakarta has one reported injury, while Semen Padang has three players sidelined.
