In another match, Semen Padang will face Borneo FC in Week 1 of BRI Liga 1 2024/2025 at Stadion Sekolah Tinggi Ilmu Kepolisian, starting at 19:00 WIB, also live on Indosiar and Vidio. Semen Padang, a newly promoted team, has made extensive preparations. Following a training camp, Semen Padang won 4-0 against the West Sumatra PON team in a pre-season friendly. Hendri Susilo's team looks well-prepared. Meanwhile, Borneo FC participated in the 2024 President's Cup during the pre-season. Pesut Etam performed well, reaching the final. Although they did not win the cup, their performances in the five matches were promising and showed they are at a high level.
The reason for Persija Jakarta’s cancellation of the friendly match against Atletico Madrid is their participation in the 2024 President's Cup. Rumors had circulated that Persija was scheduled to play Atletico Madrid on Saturday (August 3) at Jakarta International Stadium (JIS) in preparation for the new season. However, Persija advanced to the semifinals of the 2024 President's Cup and had to compete for third place against Persis Solo on the same day at Stadion Manahan, Solo. "It was definitely not possible because we were involved in the third-place match of the 2024 President’s Cup," Persija's Director Mohamad Prapanca told reporters. He added that Atletico Madrid could only visit on that specific date, which conflicted with Persija’s schedule. "We were prepared to host them, but we had to follow the regulations of our federation," Prapanca said. Prapanca is unsure if Atletico Madrid will still visit Indonesia after the friendly was canceled. He noted that Persija had initially planned to test their strength against the Spanish giants. "I don’t know. You should ask the promoter whether Atletico Madrid will come or not. As for the planning, yes, the plan was there," Prapanca said. "But the promoter also needs to get approval from our federation and PT LIB to see if it could be arranged during the 2024 President’s Cup," he concluded.
Persija Jakarta reached the semifinals of the 2024 Presidential Cup, but their performance needs review after suffering three consecutive defeats. They allowed nine goals across the five matches they played. Barito Putera did not participate in the 2024 Presidential Cup but played several friendly matches against top-level teams. One standout result was a 3-0 win over Persebaya Surabaya.
Semen Padang is not in an advantageous situation despite being the host. This is because Semen Padang has to 'move' to Jakarta. Moreover, with a majority of new foreign players, Semen Padang may need time to reach their optimal performance. Borneo FC has been thoroughly tested in the 2024 President’s Cup. Their squad depth is unquestionable. The new foreign players for Borneo FC have also proven to be quite capable, including foreign striker Leo Gaucho. Score Prediction: Semen Padang 1-3 Borneo FC.
