The Indonesian Liga 1 season is always a fascinating watch, and the clashes between Persija Jakarta and Malut United have certainly added to the drama. Looking back at their recent history, these two teams have met a few times, with results that show a competitive spirit.
For instance, a recent regular season fixture on May 23, 2025, saw Persija Jakarta and Malut United play out a goalless draw at the Jakarta International Stadium. This was a tight affair, reflecting the closely matched nature of the teams on that particular day. Before that, on August 23, 2025, they also drew, this time 1-1, again at the Jakarta International Stadium. It seems this venue has been a stage for balanced contests between them.
However, it's not always draws. Earlier in the 2024-2025 season, on December 28, 2024, Persija Jakarta managed a narrow 1-0 victory over Malut United at the Stadion Gelora Kie Raha in Ternate. This shows that while draws are common, Persija has also secured wins.
When we look at their recent form, Persija Jakarta has had a mixed bag of results. They've experienced losses, but also secured some important wins, like their 3-0 victory against Bali United FC on May 10, 2025. Their league position, as of the 25/26 season data, places them in a strong spot, often near the top of the table, demonstrating their consistent performance over time. For example, in the 25/26 Super League table, Persija was listed with 14 points from 8 games, having won 4, drawn 2, and lost 2, with a healthy goal difference.
Malut United, on the other hand, has also shown resilience. While they might not always come out on top against Persija, they are a competitive force in the league. Their league standing in the 25/26 season also shows them in a respectable position, often close to Persija, indicating a similar level of performance. In the same 25/26 Super League table, Malut United also had 14 points from 8 games, with the same win-draw-loss record as Persija, but a slightly lower goal difference. This highlights just how close these two teams are in terms of their league performance.
It's this kind of competition, where teams are so evenly matched, that makes the Indonesian Liga 1 so exciting to follow. The history between Persija Jakarta and Malut United suggests that their future encounters will likely be just as engaging, with both teams fighting hard for every point.
