Gilabola.com – Prediction for PSIM Yogyakarta vs Persebaya Surabaya in the 18th week of the BRI Super League 2025-2026 season which will be held at the Mandala Krida Stadium, Sunday afternoon 25 January 2026.

PSIM and Persebaya are two teams currently competing fiercely in the standings. If the Laskar Mataram squad is in sixth place, the Bajul Ijo team is in 7th place with only a difference of two points.

It is believed that this match will be fierce, because both teams will be chasing victory, because the additional three points will take them to a better position on the standings.

Moreover, PSIM previously won two consecutive matches, and of course, in this afternoon’s home match they have the ambition to present a victory for their loyal supporters.

However, Persebaya’s record is no less brilliant after they previously recorded three wins in a row. The team coached by Bernardo Tavares certainly wants to continue this winning trend, even though they are fighting at their opponent’s home ground.

Can PSIM secure perfect points at home? Or will Persebaya dominate the match and bring home points from the opponent’s cage?

PSIM Yogyakarta vs Persebaya Surabaya Match Prediction

In the previous four meetings, it must be admitted that Persebaya has a better track record than the hosts, namely winning twice, drawing once and losing once.

The two teams only met again this season, when PSIM received promotion to the highest caste competition in Indonesian football. In the first half – to be precise in the first match of this season, Laskar Mataram surprisingly managed to beat Persebaya, 1-0.

Of course, Persebaya wants to take revenge and beat PSIM at home, like PSIM did in the first round. Moreover, this afternoon, the hosts will be without mainstay defender, Franco Ramos, who is feared to be PSIM’s weakness in this match.

Meanwhile, Persebaya has just brought in several new players who will give them better team depth than the first round. They are Bruno Paraíba, Jefferson da Silva, Gustavo Fernandes and Pedro Matos – brought in by Bajul Ijo from Semen Padang. Score Prediction: PSIM Yogyakarta 1 – 1 Persebaya Surabaya.
