In this AFC Champions League Two match, Persib host Melbourne Victory. Both sides played in their own competitions at the end of October and want three points to start their cup campaign well. Persib lost 1-2 to Garudayaksa FC in Liga 1 on 25 Oct, after previously beating Persik Kediri 1-0 at home. Their attack is not sharp yet, but playing at home is something they can rely on. Melbourne Victory drew 1-1 at home to Melbourne City in the A-League Men on 24 Oct, after previously losing 2-1 to Wellington Phoenix and having thrashed Seoul 3-0 in this competition on 14 Oct. The pattern therefore is an away side that can trade blows throughout. The game is likely to open with both teams feeling each other out before Persib gradually push up and see more of the ball in the second half, while Melbourne Victory are good at waiting for counter-attacking moments and often score late in games. If the visitors can play the way they did against Seoul, they have a chance to take the game in the direction they want.
