PSPS Riau host Persiku Kudus in the Indonesia Championship, with the home side leading the table with 12 points from 5 matches, while the visitors have just 1 point from 4 matches and are still without a win. The overall picture is clearly different between the two sides: the hosts have won four in a row, while the visitors have lost three straight and were just thrashed 1-5 in their latest match. PSPS Riau come in with their attack working consistently, winning 2-1 in three of their last five matches and keeping one clean sheet in a 1-0 win, making it 8 scored and 5 conceded over this stretch. Persiku Kudus, meanwhile, have obvious problems at the back, conceding 14 goals in four matches and scoring just 3. They are a team that sits deep and comes under sustained pressure, with less possession and clearly more shots on target conceded than their opponents. The game is likely to flow in one direction: PSPS Riau controlling the ball and pushing high, while Persiku Kudus have to defend deep and wait to counter. If the hosts score first in the first half, the game could open up and finish with a margin of more than one goal, because the visitors have been unable to keep up with the pace throughout this recent stretch.
