Etam Pesut Momentum Returns to Victory Tracks

Gilabola.com – Prediction for Borneo FC vs PSM Makassar in the 16th week of the BRI Super League 2025-2026 season which will be held at the Segiri Stadium, Samarinda, Saturday afternoon 3 January 2026.

Host Borneo FC is currently perhaps regretting his fate, because – finally, he lost his position at the top of the standings. Persib Bandung won his position after never winning in four consecutive matches – with a record of one draw and three defeats.

Not only that, the Pesut Etam team was no longer even a scary team, because in that period Borneo FC lost to Bali United at home.

Now, they will host PSM Makassar – a team that has also not played in their last three matches. Finally, the Juku Eja squad lost 0-1 at home to Persib.

Currently, Borneo FC has a big opportunity to reclaim the top of the standings from the Maung Bandung squad, because both Pesut Etam and Persib have the same points, namely 34 points.

Can Borneo FC recover and maintain perfect points at home? Of course, they don’t want to repeat their first defeat this season, namely when Borneo hosted Bali United on 30 November.

For this reason, Borneo FC must really play focused and optimally, while being aware of the opponent’s game. PSM will certainly put up fierce resistance in order to pursue perfect points and gradually improve their position on the standings.

Prediction for the Borneo FC vs PSM Makassar match

This match was supposed to be a moment of revival for Borneo FC, after they had not lost in the last four matches – one draw and three defeats.

However, it is certain that PSM does not want to lose, even though they are playing at their opponent’s home ground. The reason is, the Juku Eja team has never won in the last three matches, with one draw and two defeats.

This match will truly be a meeting moment for two teams who are currently injured, and they are both chasing a moment of revival. It will not be easy for the Pesut Etam squad to face PSM, and vice versa, PSM will also meet difficult opponents who will appear full of ambition and great motivation to win.

However, in the last five meetings, the two teams shared one win, three draws and one loss. It seems that this time Dewi Fortuna can side with hosts Borneo FC who will receive full support from their loyal supporters. Score Prediction: Borneo FC 1 – 0 PSM Makassar.
