Under Paul Munster's management, Persebaya has adopted a more pragmatic approach. Bajul Ijo now emphasizes a strong defensive strategy. If this strategy is successful, they will have a good chance to secure three points. On the other hand, PSS Sleman might require some time to adjust. PSS's new players are promising, but the team has undergone significant changes. If PSS finds their rhythm and overcomes the pressure, they could earn points.
PT Liga Indonesia Baru (LIB) has sent the provisional schedule for Liga 1 2024/2025 to each club. Persib Bandung will kick off the competition. As the defending champions, Persib will host Liga 2 champions PSBS Biak on August 9, 2024, at Stadion Si Jalak Harupat (SJH), Soreang, Bandung Regency. Persib will return to SJH for the second week of Liga 1, where they will face Dewa United on August 19, 2024. Dewa United will have to be the traveling team for Liga 1 next season due to the Indomilk Arena in Tangerang being under renovation by the government. On September 23, 2024, Persib will have a big match against Persija Jakarta in the sixth week, to be played at SJH. From the eighth week onwards, Persib will no longer play at SJH for Liga 1, as they will move to Stadion Gelora Bandung Lautan Api (GBLA), which is currently under renovation. In the early season transfer market, Persib has not been very aggressive. Maung Bandung has only signed Mateo Kocijan, while Tyronne del Pino, Robi Darwis, Eriyanto, and Satrio Azhar have returned from loan spells. Additionally, Persib has released three players: Fitrul Dwi Rustapa to Bali United, Arsan Makarin to PSPS Pekanbaru, and Alberto Rodriguez to Mohun Bagan SG in India.

Semen Padang will face PSS Sleman in the opening match of BRI Liga 1 2024/2025 at Gelora Bung Tomo Stadium on Sunday, August 11, 2024. The game will kick off at 19:00 WIB, broadcast live on Indosiar and Vidio. Persebaya secured a 2-0 victory over Persik Kediri in their most recent friendly match. The Bajul Ijo won, but their performance was not yet optimal. The collaboration of Francisco Rivera, Bruno Moreira, and Flavio Silva is still not quite cohesive. Meanwhile, PSS Sleman lost 1-2 to Persita Tangerang in their last friendly match. PSS's form is still underwhelming, but midfielder Moon Chang-jin, the creative force behind Super Elang Jawa's attacks, brings hope. The head-to-head record between PSS Sleman and Persebaya is not favorable for PSS. In their last six encounters, PSS has never beaten Bajul Ijo. During this period, Persebaya won three times, with three other matches ending in draws.
