-----------------------------------------------------
Week 31 of the 2024–2025 Liga 1 season features a match between Semen Padang FC and Madura United on Sunday afternoon, May 4, at Stadion H Agus Salim in Padang. The game is expected to be tightly contested, given the strong recent performances of both teams.

Team Analysis:
Semen Padang has bounced back with two consecutive wins after a five-match slump and is motivated by the fight against relegation and potential financial bonuses. They recently secured a clean-sheet away win over a top-ranked team. Madura United, also battling to stay clear of the relegation zone, comes in with back-to-back victories, including a strong away performance and a narrow home win against higher-ranked opponents.

Player Situation:
Semen Padang is likely to field their strongest lineup, with Bruno Gomes leading the attack, supported by midfielders Irkham Milla, Firman Juliansyah, and Cornelius Stewart. Madura United will rely on striker Miljan Skrbic, backed by wingers Brayan Angulo and Riski Afrisal, whose combination is expected to challenge Semen Padang's defense.

Result Prediction:
In the first round of the season, Semen Padang defeated Madura United 1-0, with the winning goal scored by Ryohei Michibuchi, who is no longer with the team. This victory served as payback for their 2-1 home loss to Madura United back in 2019.

Predicted Result: Semen Padang 2-1 Madura United
