Persita Tangerang welcome Persebaya Surabaya at Indomilk Arena, Kelapa Dua on Friday, Dec 18 at 1:00 PM in a Super League fixture that's tighter on paper than the positions suggest — just 2 points split them in the table.

Persita Tangerang come into this fixture in good form (3W 2D 0L recently). Persebaya Surabaya travel drawing too many games (3D in last 5), which may hand the initiative to the hosts.

Despite playing at home, Persita Tangerang face a side that has dominated this fixture historically. Persebaya Surabaya have won 7 of 10 encounters, with 3 draws. Their last encounter ended in Persita Tangerang won 0–1.

Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Persita Tangerang a slight edge, but Persebaya Surabaya are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
