Persik Kediri and Persita meet often enough to be considered familiar opponents. They have traded home wins over several meetings, and the most recent game ended 1-0 to the home side, but this time the shape of both teams is quite different, especially the visitors, who are still unbeaten in the league this season. Persik Kediri have picked up wins at intervals but have also had stumbles and lost their most recent match, while Persita are unbeaten in the league across all 6 games they have played, collecting 12 points and scoring clearly more than the home side. Their defence has not been overly leaky either, so the two teams differ in that one side lets points slip now and then while the other has held itself together in every game. This game is likely to take the shape of Persik Kediri trying to dominate the ball and push forward, while Persita wait for counter-attacking moments and use their unbeaten league record as a way to anchor the game. If the home side start quickly and score first, the game will flow the other way, but if the visitors defend to plan and do not concede early, the scoreline is likely to end close or not far apart. The first thing to watch after kick-off is how much pressure Persik Kediri can apply in the first 15 minutes, because if they do not score early, the game will suit the visitors even more.
