In this Liga 1 fixture, Dewa United host PSS Sleman at home, with the hosts having collected 7 points from 3 matches and having just won away at Borneo 1-3 in Liga 1 on 16 Sep. The visitors, meanwhile, just lost at home to Madura United 1-3 in Liga 1 on 12 Sep. The two teams therefore come into the match with different needs: the hosts want to keep their good home form going, while the visitors need to stop their slump quickly before it drags on. Dewa United come in at a moment when their attack is clicking, and they are especially dangerous late in matches, while their problem lies in conceding early in the second half, which is the period in which they concede most. PSS Sleman have a similar weak spot: they let opponents score after the break often, but their advantage is that this team also keeps its attack running until the final minute. This match therefore looks likely to see the hosts dominate possession and apply more pressure. If Dewa United can take the lead first and keep controlling the tempo as they have lately, PSS Sleman will be forced to open up, which is when the hosts are at their best playing long balls on the counter. But if the visitors can hold out until half-time, the game could turn into a back-and-forth exchange that goes down to the wire, because both sides have goals in the 76-90 minute period as a strong point of their own.
