PSS Sleman started the BRI Liga 1 2024/2025 season with a defeat. Yet, the focus is not just on the loss but also on the -3 points recorded for PSS Sleman in the BRI Liga 1 2024/2025 standings. PSS Sleman played against Persebaya Surabaya in the opening match of BRI Liga 1. Playing at Gelora Bung Tomo Stadium on Sunday (August 11, 2024) night WIB, Super Elang Jawa lost 0-1 to Persebaya.

Under the guidance of Paul Munster, Persebaya has become more pragmatic. Bajul Ijo now focuses on strong defense. If this plan works well, the chance of gaining three points will be open. Meanwhile, PSS Sleman may need time to adapt. PSS's new players are promising, but the team has undergone significant changes. If PSS can find the right rhythm and shake off the pressure, they could earn points.
Although PSS Sleman lost in the first week of BRI Liga 1, they shouldn’t be at the bottom of the table. There are four other teams that also lost and have worse goal differences. However, PSS Sleman is placed at the bottom of the standings according to PT LIB. Moreover, there is a note indicating that PSS Sleman’s points have been reduced by three. This means PSS Sleman started the game with a -3 point situation! Why did PSS Sleman receive a three-point deduction? As of now, there is no explanation from the club, PT LIB, or PSSI. However, a hint has been provided by FX Harminanto, a journalist from Kedaulatan Rakyat. According to Harminanto, PSS Sleman received a (-3) point sanction from the PT Liga Indonesia Baru standings table. This is related to a previous issue that affected the team in 2018. Details will be released by the club soon. Friday, August 9, 2024 Saturday, August 10, 2024 Sunday, August 11, 2024 Monday, August 12, 2024
Bojan Hodak, a Croatian football coach, is currently in charge of Persib Bandung. Born on May 4, 1971, in Zagreb, Yugoslavia (now Croatia), Hodak has broad experience in several leagues, especially in Southeast Asia, and brings a unique coaching style and notable track record. Before taking charge of Persib and leading Maung Bandung to the Liga 1 title in the 2023/2024 season, Hodak gained experience with various clubs, including Kelantan FC, Johor Darul Ta'zim, PSM Makassar, and Kuala Lumpur City. He also served as the coach of the Malaysia U-19 national team. Hodak is recognized for his disciplined coaching style and clear tactical philosophy. He frequently uses a 4-4-2 formation and places a strong emphasis on organized play. Hodak is also known for maintaining a close relationship with his players, including Persib’s young talents.
Persija Jakarta might be one of the most passive clubs for the upcoming Liga 1 season. So far, Macan Kemayoran has only signed one player. Carlos Bueno is the only new addition to Persija. The 29-year-old midfielder previously played in the Spanish third division. Carlos Bueno’s performances in the 2024 President’s Cup have also been underwhelming. In three matches, his role in midfield hasn’t been particularly prominent. Persija still has two foreign player slots available for next season. Currently, Macan Kemayoran has filled six of the available foreign slots. From the start, Persija’s management had planned to use only six foreign players. Besides Bueno, the other five are Ondrej Kudela, Maciej Gajos, Ryo Matsumura, Marko Simic, and Gustavo Almeida. Persija’s coach, Carlos Pena, has spoken about the possibility of adding more players to the squad for the upcoming Liga 1 season. Discussions with management are necessary. "Regarding new recruits, this is something I need to discuss with management," said Carlos Pena. The call for Persija to seek additional players has grown louder after Macan Kemayoran was defeated 0-3 by Bali United on Friday night (July 26) at Captain I Wayan Dipta Stadium, Gianyar, in their third President’s Cup Group B match. "Of course, we will try to find solutions to strengthen the team as best as possible," Carlos Pena said. "We still have time before the league starts. Let’s see what moves we can make," he added.
Arema FC will be playing in front of their home fans, which could be a key factor in boosting player motivation. Yet, there is a risk that Singo Edan might be mentally exhausted after their intense pre-season clashes in the 2024 Presidential Cup. Dewa United boasts a very strong squad. However, if coach Riekerink cannot manage them as a cohesive team, their excellent individual talents could backfire. To win, Dewa United needs to play collectively. Predicted Score: Arema FC 2-2 Dewa United.
