PSS Sleman VS PSM Makassar

Consistent steady form has been the calling card for Slemen lately, with their recent run of fixtures showing far more reliability than earlier in the campaign. The two sides have split points evenly across their recent head-to-head meetings. Slemen currently lack quality wide midfielders, with nearly all their attacking threat coming through central penetration, and they do not have a top-tier striker to lift their rather underwhelming finishing output. PSM Makassar has made notable progress recently and is clearly on an upward trend, and both teams will go all out for points in this fixture. Slemen put in a tough, resilient display in their last hard-fought clash, showing solid competitive strength across the pitch, though their sharp attacking output is far more impressive than their inconsistent, average-level defense. With home advantage on their side, Slemen have posted 3 wins, 3 draws and only 2 losses across their last 8 outings, and their overall better form makes them the more likely side to take all three points. It remains to be seen if they can extend their positive run, or if the resurgent Makassar side can pull off an upset on the road.
