---------------------------------
The 30th week of the 2024-25 Liga 1 season opens with a match between PSM Makassar and Bali United on Friday, April 25, 2025, at 7:00 PM local time at Gelora BJ Habibie Stadium in Parepare. This clash is seen as a key opportunity for PSM, also known as Juku Eja, to get back to winning ways, although it is expected to be a challenging task.

Team Analysis:
PSM Makassar is in strong form, remaining unbeaten in their last four matches across all competitions, with two of those games seeing them keep a clean sheet. They have found a solid defensive setup.
In contrast, Bali United is facing a crisis, having lost 2-1 to Persib Bandung in Week 29 and failing to win since February 10, 2025. Their recent performances have been deeply concerning.

Player Situation:
PSM Makassar is expected to rely on Nermin Haljeta, who has scored 11 goals in Liga 1, to lead their attack against Bali United. He will be supported by wingers Muh. Rizky Eka Pratama and Victor Dethan.
Bali United is likely to stick with the same lineup as in their recent loss to Persib Bandung, with Adilson Maringa returning to goal after being benched previously. Up front, Boris Kopitovic is expected to start, while former PSM striker Everton Nascimento may be used as a substitute.

Result Prediction:
PSM Makassar has been tough to beat but has frequently ended up with draws, making them the team with the most ties in Liga 1, having drawn 14 times. On the other hand, Bali United is in a difficult situation, with coach Stefano Cugurra Teco resigning after their loss to Persib Bandung.

Predicted Result: PSM Makassar 2-1 Bali United
