Team Analysis:

Persik Kediri sit in 12th place with 36 points and only need a draw against Semen Padang to secure their place in the BRI Super League, although coach Marcos Reina insists his team is still targeting a win. Meanwhile, Semen Padang have already been relegated to Liga 2 and come into the match in poor form after losing their last five games while scoring just once.

Player Situation:

Semen Padang are expected to use a 4-3-3 formation led by coach Imran Nahumarury, with Diego Mauricio and Kazaki Nakagawa leading the attack. Meanwhile, Persik Kediri will likely rely on a 4-2-3-1 setup under Marcos Reina, featuring Adrian Luna and Jon Toral in key attacking roles.

Result Prediction:

Semen Padang have struggled badly in attack this season, with no reliable goalscorer after former top scorer Cornelius Stewart left midway through the campaign. Meanwhile, Persik Kediri have been inconsistent for most of the year, but they are expected to play with more confidence because of their safer position in the standings.

Predicted Result: Semen Padang 0-2 Persik Kediri.
