In this Indonesia Championship match, Persiba Balikpapan host Kendal Tornado, with both teams needing points from this game to improve their situation in the table. The hosts have their home game as a starting point they must make count before heading away. Persiba Balikpapan and Kendal Tornado come into this in different form from their last matches. The hosts have had games where points slipped away at times, while the visitors have been on a more consistent winning run. But Kendal Tornado's defense still has moments where they leave gaps for opponents to exploit, as seen in several recent matches. If Persiba Balikpapan score first from a home move, the game is likely to be slowed down and the hosts will sit back in a block to protect the score. Kendal Tornado, meanwhile, will have to open up and chase a goal, which will make the space in midfield wider and give the hosts chances to counter.
