Semen Padang and PSIS Semarang last met on 25 Apr, a match that ended 3-2 to the home side on that occasion. This time both teams play their second Indonesia Championship match of the season, with no accumulated league form to speak of yet. What is different from the previous meeting is that the two teams have just opened the season with contrasting results. Semen Padang just won away at Persiraja Banda Aceh 0-1 in the Indonesia Championship on 13 Sep. Their attack was not especially sharp, but they took the win economically, while PSIS Semarang just won at home against PSPS Riau 2-1 in the same competition on 11 Sep. Their attack worked, but they also conceded. This matchup is likely to be more open and end-to-end than a wait-and-defend affair, because both sides show a strong tendency to score late in matches, especially Semen Padang, who score 50% of all their goals in the 76-90 minute window. If the home side scores first, the game should open up even more, and PSIS Semarang, forced to chase, will find space to counter. But if the home side keeps control of the tempo and forces their opponent to open up early, the game also tends toward a finish with several goals in total.
