Football Livescore | Match Prediction & Tips
---------------------------------------
Persebaya Surabaya and Persija Jakarta will meet in the opening Group B match of the 2026 President’s Cup at Gelora Bung Tomo Stadium on Sunday, July 26, with kickoff scheduled for 7:30 p.m. WIB. The highly anticipated clash gives both Indonesian giants an early chance to make a strong statement in the competition.
Team Analysis:
Persebaya heads into its President’s Cup opener encouraged by a promising draw against PSIS Semarang, with new signings Alex Martins, Yann Mabella, and Diogo Ramalho expected to play key roles. Persija, despite limited preparation and a revamped squad under Shin Tae-yong, will rely on the coach’s familiarity with several of the club’s Indonesian internationals to stay competitive.
Player Situation:
Persebaya Surabaya are expected to field a 4-3-3 formation under Bernardo Tavares, with Alex Martins and Ramadhan Sananta leading the attack in a balanced lineup. Persija Jakarta, coached by Shin Tae-yong, is likely to deploy a 3-4-3 system featuring Witan Sulaeman, Gustavo Almeida, and Victor Dethan in an attack-minded front three.
Result Prediction:
Persebaya appear slightly better prepared after a productive pre-season friendly and are expected to rely on key figures Alex Martins and Yuran Fernandes to make the difference. Persija will be without several important Indonesian players, but their experienced foreign contingent should keep them competitive throughout the match.
Predicted Result: Persebaya 2-1 Persija.
