The match will be held at Stadion Si Jalak Harupat. Persib Bandung is the reigning champion of BRI Liga 1. Last season, Maung Bandung defeated Madura United in the final. Meanwhile, PSBS Biak won Liga 2 last season. They defeated Semen Padang in the final. PSBS Biak, despite being a promoted side, should not be taken lightly. PSBS Biak has bolstered their team. Jeam Kelly Sroyer has been signed to enhance their attacking power. Moreover, there is an ‘Argentinian contingent’ led by coach Juan Esnaider. Persib Bandung must address the concerns of their fans after the 2024 President’s Cup. Their way to do this is by winning against PSBS Biak. Coach Bojan Hodak is determined to earn three points for the Bobotoh. “Every match in the league is crucial, and we need to secure three points. This year, as champions, every team we face will give their all,” stated Bojan Hodak. “Thus, we need to stay focused on one game at a time,” the Croatian coach added.
PSBS Biak has recruited many new players, including a ‘contingent’ of foreign players from Argentina. PSBS Biak holds the status of a promoted team in BRI Liga 1 2024/2025. The Pacific Storm earned promotion by winning Liga 1 in the 2023/2024 season, overcoming Semen Padang in the final. PSBS Biak has gathered top talents from Papua to compete in BRI Liga 1 2024/2025. Jem Kelly Sroyer was signed from Persik Kediri. Todd Ferre, Donny Monim, and Yohanes Kandaimu have also been brought back. From the foreign contingent, Julian Velazquez, Gabriel Esparza, and Abel Arganaraz will debut in Indonesia. All three are from Argentina, the same country as coach Juan Esnaider. PSBS Biak has also revamped their coaching staff. Regi Aditya, who led the Pacific Storm to promotion, cannot continue with the team due to licensing issues. His position is taken over by Juan Esnaider. As a player, Esnaider had a notable career. He has played for Juventus and Real Madrid. Additionally, the Argentine played for Atletico Madrid, Real Zaragoza, and River Plate. As a coach, Esnaider has previously managed Getafe. However, he was not fortunate as he joined Getafe when they were in the lower table and faced relegation from La Liga in the 2015/2016 season. Esnaider will be supported by Robertino Pugliara, who has extensive knowledge of Indonesian and Papuan football. Pugliara, a former Persipura player, can act as a translator and cultural liaison for Esnaider and PSBS Biak.

Persib Bandung has all the elements to win the match. However, being the defending champions might put Persib under pressure. If they manage to play freely, their chances of earning three points are substantial. PSBS Biak is believed to be well-prepared in all aspects for the Liga 1 competition. With a competitive roster and new foreign players, PSBS Biak’s strength is difficult to gauge. Score Prediction: Persib Bandung 2-1 PSBS Biak.
