------------------------------------------------
Barito Putera will face PSM Makassar in a Liga 1 2024-25 Week 33 match on Saturday, May 17, 2025. The game will take place at Stadion Demang Lehman in Martapura, with a 3:30 PM kick-off.

Team Analysis:
Barito Putera is currently struggling to avoid relegation, having secured just one point in their previous match against Persib Bandung. This result extended their winless streak to seven matches, leaving them in 16th place with 31 points from 32 games. A win is crucial for their survival in the league.
PSM Makassar, on the other hand, comes into the match on a positive note after a 3-2 victory over Malut United, which brought them up to 8th place with 47 points from 32 matches. In their last encounter in December, PSM won 3-2, with Aloísio Neto scoring twice and Nermin Haljeta adding another goal. Barito responded with goals from Beri Santoso and Alhaji Gero.

Player Situation:
Barito Putera will be without key players Murillo Mendes and Novan Sasongko due to suspension, which will force changes to their right side, creating a potential weakness in their lineup. PSM Makassar also faces a setback with Yuran Fernandes serving a suspension, but they still have strong options, including Akbar Tanjung, who can fill in as a central defender. PSM’s squad depth remains a valuable asset for them.

Result Prediction:
PSM defeated Barito Putera 3-2 in their first-round encounter, with defender Aloisio Neto scoring twice. This victory marked PSM's third win in the last five meetings with Barito Putera.

Predicted Result: Barito Putera 2-1 PSM Makassar.
