Another Tough Match for Sapeh Kerrab

Gilabola.com – Prediction for Madura United vs Persebaya Surabaya in the 16th week of the BRI Super League 2025-2026 season which will be held at the Gelora Ratu Pamelingan Stadium, Pamekasan, Saturday evening 3 January 2026.

Madura United will play a difficult match this week, because they will host Persebaya who have not lost in their last eight matches, even though they have only won two of those eight matches.

It is certain that it will not be easy for Lulinha and his friends to defend their home points, because of the inconsistent performance of the Sapeh Kerrab squad recently.

However, in the last two matches, Carlos Parreira’s team achieved positive results by stealing points at home to Arema FC through a 2-2 draw and slaughtering their guests, Semen Padang, with a score of 5-1. This is what the Bajul Ijo squad should be wary of.

Persebaya will certainly appear full of confidence in this match, because not only the hosts, the team which is now being handled by Uston Nawawi as interim coach is also in a positive trend.

After securing a draw in five consecutive matches, Persebaya beat Persijap Jepara with a landslide score, 4-0, last week. Thanks to this victory, Bajul Ijo is now in seventh place in the standings, with a collection of 22 points.

It took extra effort for MUFC to beat Persebaya, even though nothing is impossible on the field. Can the Sapeh Kerrab squad maintain their home points? Or will Persebaya succeed in showing its dominance and become the winning team in this match?

Both teams are also in a positive trend, and Madura United benefits from their position as hosts. However, once again, nothing is impossible in the field.

Moreover, in tonight’s match, Madura United will be without mainstay defender, Novan Sasongko, while Sapeh Kerrab has always conceded in the last five matches. Score Prediction: Madura United 0 – Persebaya Surabaya.
