Persija Jakarta — Bhayangkara : Match Preview and Prediction for October 04,2025

Persija’s Offensive Prowess

Let’s delve into the facts. Persija Jakarta stands out as the team with the highest attacking intensity across the entire league. The statistics are undeniable: they hold the top spot for total shots on goal, averaging over 13 attempts per match.

Dominant Ball Possession and Shot Volume

With 12 goals scored, they are the second most prolific team in the league. Their ball possession is impressive, ranking third in the championship, which allows them to consistently exert pressure on opposing defenses. Even in their 1-3 loss to Borneo, Persija managed 13 shots, with 6 of those on target.

Defensive Vulnerabilities

However, there’s a flip side to their aggressive style: their defense is remarkably porous. The club ranks a dismal 17th, second to last, in terms of errors leading to shots on their goal. Furthermore, their goalkeepers are at the very bottom, 18th place, for saves made. This starkly indicates that almost any significant threat against their net has a high probability of resulting in a goal.

Bhayangkara’s Attacking Intent

Now, turning our attention to Bhayangkara. Their current league standing might be deceiving. Paul Munster’s team is generating considerable pressure, which is bound to translate into goals sooner rather than later. They were the first club in the league to complete over 100 crosses from the flanks this season.

Creating Chances, Lacking Finish

This statistic underscores their relentless pursuit of scoring opportunities in the opponent’s territory. In their last match against Malut United, despite a 0-1 defeat, Bhayangkara registered 11 shots. They are certainly creating chances, but currently, luck hasn’t been on their side with finishing.

Aggressive Defensive Style

Concurrently, their defensive playing style is notably aggressive and high-risk. Bhayangkara leads the league in both fouls committed and yellow cards received. This approach inevitably leads to dangerous free-kicks and set-piece opportunities near their own goal, which presents an excellent chance for the attacking Persija side.
