Analysis:
A dramatic encounter awaits us on May 24, at the Kanjuruhan Stadium, Malang Regency, as Arema FC and Semen Padang go head-to-head in the final round of the Indonesian Liga 1, 2024-25 season. While the hosts are comfortably on the 10th spot with nothing at stake, it is a do-or-die match for the visitors who are just 2 points above the relegation zone.
Special features:
With unstable performance throughout the season, the hosts saw themselves losing 12 games, one less than the matches won. However, they are a goal scoring machine, with an average of 1.6 goal scored per game. Now with their ticket to the next season confirmed, it is a matter of closing the season with style in front of the home crowd.
Semen Padang showed determination in the last five rounds. From a 3-game losing streak with 12 goals conceded and 1 scored, they registered 3 successive victories and 2 draws. They visitors come to this match with one objective, a win. Though it seems a difficult task to tackle, given their poor results on the road, the motivation will make the difference this time.
Suggestion:
History shows hosts’ dominance over the visitors. In their most recent and relevant head-to-head encounter, Arema won by 1-2. However, with Semen Padang survival in the line, they are the favorites and their victory is offered at @2.06. The home team is paying @3.10, and a draw is priced at @3.78.
This could be the final dance for Semen Padang in Liga 1 if they somehow drop points and the 16th and 17th-played teams win their respective matches. However, their recent achievements show they mean business. Is that willpower that drives us to advise you to open an account made for winners and place your bet on Semen Padang to win!
