-----------------------------------------------------
Week 31 of the 2024–25 Liga 1 season will feature a match between Borneo FC and Persija Jakarta on Sunday evening, May 4, at Stadion Segiri, Samarinda. The game is expected to be a tough challenge for Persija, who are aiming to secure a top-four finish.

Team Analysis:
Persija enters the match in poor form after a home defeat to a lower-ranked team, leading to the dismissal of head coach Carlos Pena and the appointment of Ricky Nelson as caretaker. Despite the setback, the team remains hopeful of earning points. Borneo FC, on the other hand, is unbeaten in their last four matches with two wins and two draws, but they have struggled at home recently, failing to win in their last three home games.

Player Situation:
Borneo FC will be without Stefano Lilipaly due to injury but still has strong attacking options, with M. Sihran performing well on the wing and Habibie Jusuf adding a new dynamic to their play. For Persija, caretaker Ricky Nelson is expected to bring fresh energy to the team, and his familiarity from serving as assistant coach could help him quickly make an impact compared to the previous era under Carlos Pena.

Result Prediction:
Persija has failed to win in their last five matches against Borneo FC, including a draw in the 2024 preseason President's Cup. Their first meeting this season also ended in a 1-1 draw.

Predicted Result: Borneo FC Samarinda 2-2 Persija Jakarta
