GIANYAR, KOMPAS — Arema FC is trying to get full points from the two remaining matches in the competition BRI Liga 1 2023/2024 to avoid being in the zone relegation this season. Arema FC's position until the 33rd week of BRI Liga 1 2023/2024 is still not safe.
As we enter the 33rd week, Arema FC is in the 15th position, just one level above the relegation zone. Until week 32, the team, known as "Singo Edan", has collected 34 points, just one point ahead of Persita Tangerang, who is in the 16th position in the current standings of BRI League 1 2023/2024. Arema FC must earn points from the remaining two matches in the 2023/2024 season if Singo Edan is to stay in League 1 for the 2024/2025 season.
Arema FC coach Widodo Cahyono Putro emphasized his desire as a coach to finish the competition by keeping Arema FC in Liga 1. Widodo stated this in a press conference at Kapten I Wayan Dipta Stadium, Gianyar, on Wednesday (24/4/2024), one day before the match between Arema FC and PSM Makassar.
The same commitment was expressed by defender for Arema FC, Syaeful Anwar, in a press conference with Coach Widodo C Putro. "We are focused on the last two matches, not just against PSM Makassar," said Syaeful. "The most important thing is to have motivation," Syaeful emphasized.
We are focused on the last two matches, not just against PSM Makassar.
Arema FC's upcoming match is against PSM Makassar in the 33rd week of the 2023/2024 BRI League 1, which will be held at Dipta Stadium, Gianyar, on Thursday evening (25/4). After the match against PSM Makassar, Arema FC will have an away game against Madura United.
The last two matches in this competition season could become stumbling blocks for Arema FC's target if the Singo Edan squad is not consistent, not solid, and loses motivation. Moreover, the two opponents for Arema FC in the remaining competition are teams whose positions in the temporary standings are above Arema FC. PSM Makassar is in 11th place, while Madura United is in fourth place.
Meanwhile, Bali United ensured qualification for the League 1 Championships series after winning three points from the away match against Persebaya Surabaya at the Gelora Bung Tomo Stadium , Surabaya, Wednesday (24/4/2024) afternoon. The Serdadu Tridatu squad beat Persebaya Surabaya with a final score of 2-0.
The additional three points from the week 33 match of the 2023/2024 BRI League 1 has brought Bali United's total to 58 points, keeping them in third position in the current League 1 standings.
Bali United opened the scoring against the home team Persebaya Surabaya through a goal scored by Irfan "Jaya" Samaling Kumi in the 35th minute. Irfan Jaya, who previously played for Persebaya Surabaya, maximized a through pass from Eber Henrique Ferreira de Bessa and converted it into a goal against Persebaya Surabaya's goalkeeper, Andhika Ramadhani.
Bali United scored their second goal in the 73rd minute. The second goal by Bali United began with a fast counter-attack, which was then ended by Jean Marie Privat Befolo Mbarga's solo performance as he broke away from the tackle of two Persebaya Surabaya defenders before hitting the ball into the goal.
Until referee Asep Yandis ended the match in the 90+6th minute, the score remained 2-0 for Bali United's victory over Persebaya Surabaya.
