Match Preview: Persib Bandung Aims for Comeback Against PSBS Biak

Persib Bandung is aiming for a comeback against PSBS Biak in the 2025/2026 Super League. The match will be held at Maguwoharjo Stadium, Sleman, on Friday (10/17/2025), at 19:00 PM WIB. It can be watched live on Indosiar or streamed on Vidio.

Currently, Maung Bandung sits in seventh place with 10 points and desperately needs a win to close in on the top five.

Near Full Strength for Persib

The Blue Prince is boosted by the return of several key national team players, including Marc Klok, Thom Haye, and Beckham Putra Nugraha, making the squad nearly complete. Only defender Frans Putros (suspension) and goalkeeper Adam Pryzbek (illness) are out.

Coach Bojan Hodak confirmed the national team players are ready, having had enough time to rest after their international commitments. Captain Marc Klok added that the team is highly motivated following their recent AFC Champions League Two win against Bangkok United.

PSBS Biak Wary of Early Attack

PSBS Biak coach Divaldo Alves predicts that Persib's high motivation—fueled by their Asian victory and a league loss before the break—will lead to an aggressive attack from the start.

With a nearly complete squad and high motivation to climb the standings, Persib is predicted to play an open game. PSBS Biak must be careful not to concede early due to the pressure expected, particularly from the midfield controlled by Klok.

PSBS Biak (4-3-3): Kadu; Sandro Embalo, Nurhidayat Haji Haris, Pablo Andrade, George Brown; Kevin Lopez, Eduardo Barbosa, Yano Putra; Lucas Morais, Raja Siregar, Ruyery Blanco. Coach: Divaldo Alves.
