  Persib vs Bali United is set to take place on 18th April in the Gelora Bandung Lautan Api Stadium in a Liga 1 fixture. Persib are one of the best teams in Liga 1, not only this season but also over the last five seasons as well, since they have always managed to finish inside the top three. They have finished only in the top three since the 2020-2021 season and even won the league in the 2020-2021 season. Persib are currently in first place with 58 points in 28 games, winning sixteen games, drawing ten games and losing only twice. Their form in the last five games has been decent, losing one game, drawing two games and winning two games.

  Bali United, on the other hand, have fallen from grace this season.

  They have been stellar since the 2018-2019 season, where they finished only once out of the top four, and in the rest, they won the league twice. As of the 2024-2025 season, they have a minute chance to make it to the top four, let alone win the league. Bali United are currently in 9th place with 41 points in 28 games, winning 11 games, drawing eight, and losing nine. Bali United's form in the last five games has been horrible, drawing three games and losing two games.

The home team have quite a few absentees namely Rachmat Irianto, Dedi Kusnandar, Febri Hariyadi, Rezaldi Hehanussa and David Da Silva as well.

The best part is that the team are still doing wonders without so many players and coach Bojan Hodak is likely to field a similar lineup which he did in Persib's previous fixture against Borneo.

Persib vs Bali United Prediction

The hosts have a great chance to get their first ever win against Bali United in the league since Bali United are not in great form this season. Persib have been decent in their last five games, losing one game, drawing two games, and winning two games, but Bali United have been even worse since they are winless in their last five games. Bali United have a decent chance to score a goal as well, but ultimately, Persib are more likely to get the win.
