Persita Team News

Fabio Lefundes has some tough decisions to make here after their recent poor run of form. He is likely to make a couple of changes, but one guarantee is that Kartika Ajie is starting in goal after making some splendid saves in recent matches to keep them in the game.

Persib Team News

The visitors head into this match without their leftback Edo Febriansyah as he remains suspended after receiving a red card in the last match against Barito Putera. He is likely going to be replaced by Henhen Herdina, who has proved to be a good cover for them.
