Persib Edge Closer to Title as Borneo Drop Points: Super League Championship Race Goes to Final Day

Persib Bandung have moved a step closer to securing the 2025–2026 Super League title after a dramatic 2-1 victory over PSM Makassar in Week 33. The win, highlighted by late heroics, keeps them firmly at the top of the standings with 78 points as the season reaches its decisive stage.

At the same time, title rivals Borneo FC missed a crucial opportunity by only managing a 0-0 draw against Persijap Jepara. Despite dominating spells and creating chances, they were unable to break through a disciplined defense, leaving them second in the table with 76 points.

The title race now heads into a final-day showdown where Persib hold a clear advantage. A win against Persijap Jepara would guarantee them the championship regardless of other results, while even a draw could still be enough depending on head-to-head superiority over Borneo FC.

Borneo FC still retain a mathematical chance, but their path is significantly more complicated. They must win their final match against Malut United while also hoping Persib lose, which would allow them to overtake the leaders by a single point in the final standings.

With both teams heading into their last fixtures under pressure, the championship will be decided in a dramatic conclusion. Persib enter the final match with control of their destiny, while Borneo FC must rely on both victory and favorable results elsewhere to keep their title hopes alive.
