PSBS Biak Numfor — Madura United : Match Preview and Prediction for September 25,2025

PSBS Biak Numfor’s Defensive Woes

PSBS Biak Numfor enters this match following a 1-3 defeat to Dewa United. The team conceded three goals in the first half alone, once again highlighting significant defensive frailties. The statistics are stark: 13 goals conceded in 6 matches this season. This is the worst defensive record in the league, averaging 2.17 goals per game.

Attacking Prowess and High-Scoring Games

Despite their defensive issues, the team is not toothless in attack. Recently, they have consistently found the back of the net, as seen in their 2-1 victory against Semen Padang or the 2-2 draw with Persis Solo. The statistics are clear: seven out of PSBS Biak Numfor’s last eight matches have featured three or more goals. Their open style of play frequently leads to high-scoring encounters.

Tactical Vulnerabilities and Aerial Deficiencies

Their style of play, which often involves numerous fouls, frequently results in dangerous set-piece situations near their own goal. Defense remains their Achilles’ heel. They rank last in the league for aerial duel success rate, offering opponents clear pathways to create scoring opportunities.

Madura United’s Recent Struggles

Madura United is also not in optimal form, heading into this match after a crushing 1-4 defeat to Malut United. This result clearly highlights the fragility of their defensive line, which struggled under pressure. The team has failed to secure a single victory in their last four outings.

Squad Challenges and Key Absences

Adding to their woes, Madura United is facing significant squad challenges. Striker Balotelli will miss the game due to suspension. Furthermore, the participation of key attacking players Lulinha and Iran Junior is doubtful due to injuries. The absence of crucial offensive players invariably impacts the team’s overall balance and can also affect defensive performance.

Defensive Vulnerabilities and Tactical Gaps

In 6 league rounds, Madura United has conceded 9 goals, an average of 1.5 goals per game. Despite coach Ángel Alfredo Vera’s claims of high spirits and compactness, the recent heavy defeat suggests otherwise. It’s evident that there are significant gaps in the team’s defensive structure, which opponents are likely to exploit.
