Tight Battle for Asian Spots and Relegation Survival in Liga 1 This Weekend (May 16–18, 2025)

As Liga 1 2024-25 nears its conclusion, the competition intensifies both at the top and bottom of the table. Dewa United and Persebaya Surabaya are locked in a fierce contest for second place, which would secure them a spot in next season’s Asian competitions. Dewa holds a narrow two-point advantage and will travel to face Persis Solo, while Persebaya faces a challenging away game against Borneo FC. With only two matches remaining, every point counts for both teams in this high-stakes race.

At the summit, Persib Bandung has already clinched the Liga 1 title, ensuring their qualification for the ACL Two 2025-26. With the championship settled, attention now turns to the remaining slots for Asian competition and the final standings that determine international qualification. Dewa United and Persebaya are not only eyeing the runner-up spot but also the prestige and financial rewards that come with playing on the continental stage.
Meanwhile, the relegation battle is equally gripping. PSIS Semarang has already confirmed their drop to Liga 2, but several other clubs—PSS Sleman, Barito Putera, Semen Padang, and Madura United—are still fighting to stay afloat. With the teams separated by only a few points, the remaining matchdays are crucial. Each team must capitalize on their upcoming fixtures to avoid joining PSIS in relegation, making the final stretch of the season one of the most dramatic yet.
