The 33rd week of the Super League will feature a duel between two teams with contrasting fates. PSBS Biak is scheduled to host Arema FC on Friday (May 15th) at 7:00 PM WIB. For the home team, this match is merely a formality after they have been confirmed to be relegated from the top tier next season.

PSBS Biak is currently at its lowest point. The team, coached by Marian Mihail, is at the bottom of the standings with only 18 points from 32 matches. The certainty of relegation seems to have burdened the players’ morale, as seen from their poor record in the domestic competition.

The club, nicknamed Badai Pasifik, has not won in the last 15 matches in the Super League. More tragically, their last 10 matches have all ended in defeat.

Marian Mihail has a difficult task to revive the motivation of his team so that they do not end the season with an even more embarrassing record in front of their own supporters.

On the other hand, Arema FC comes with high confidence. Under the direction of coach Marquinhos Santos, the team, nicknamed Singo Edan, has begun to show stability. Currently, Arema FC is in 10th place in the standings with 42 points from 32 matches.

Arema FC brings valuable capital after successfully thrashing PSM Makassar with a convincing score of 3-0 in the previous match. This victory proves that Singo Edan’s attack line has begun to sharpen and their defensive organization is getting stronger. Facing a team that has been relegated, Marquinhos Santos is expected to instruct his players to play aggressively from the beginning to secure three additional points.

Looking at the performance gap between the two teams, Arema FC is far more likely to win this match. PSBS Biak, who is in a negative trend of 15 matches without a win, is expected to have difficulty stemming the aggressiveness of Singo Edan’s attack line. However, the factor of playing at home may be the only hope for Marian Mihail to at least steal one point as a farewell gift for the Biak supporters.
