Deltras and Persiba Balikpapan meet in the Indonesia Championship, with the hosts having just won 2-1 in their last match, while the visitors have just lost 0-1. This is therefore a meeting between a team that is on a good run and a team still searching for a way out of its familiar results. Deltras have won 3 in a row, taking 9 points from their first 3 matches of the season, and have already scored 10 goals in the league. Persiba Balikpapan, meanwhile, have lost 3 in a row, are still without a point this season, and have scored only 2 goals from 3 matches. The hosts clearly lead in both points and confidence, while the visitors must try to steady themselves and get their defence settled first. Based on the expected pattern of play, Deltras are likely to dominate possession and push forward from the start. Persiba Balikpapan are inclined to sit deep and wait to counter. If the hosts score first, the game should open up and the hosts will have chances to pile on more. The first half may still be tight because the visitors will focus on closing spaces, but in the second half, as the game stretches, the hosts, with more options in attack, should gradually apply pressure until they add more goals.
