Persijap Jepara face PSIM Yogyakarta at Gelora Bumi Kartini Stadium on Friday, Apr 9 at 10:30 AM in a basement battle that neither side can afford to lose. Both clubs are deep in the relegation picture in the Super League, and defeat here could prove costly come the end of the season.

Persijap Jepara come into this fixture struggling badly (0W 5L in last 5). PSIM Yogyakarta, meanwhile, arrive struggling badly (0W 4L in last 5) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks.

Head-to-head records offer little separation — Persijap Jepara and PSIM Yogyakarta have split their 2 meetings almost evenly (0W–2D–0W). Their last encounter ended in a 2–2 draw. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 3.0 per game in recent meetings.

Verdict: Little separates these two on form or history. Home advantage could be the deciding factor — a narrow Persijap Jepara win or a draw looks most likely.
