-----------------------------
PSM Makassar’s consistency will be put to the test when they face Dewa United in Week 21 of the BRI Super League. The match is scheduled to take place at Stadion Gelora B.J. Habibie on Saturday afternoon. Kickoff between PSM Makassar and Dewa United is set for 15:30 WIB.

Team Analysis:
PSM Makassar head into the match with renewed confidence after a draw against Semen Padang and a 2–1 win over PSBS Biak, results that halted a five-game losing streak under coach Tomas Trucha. In contrast, Dewa United arrive in mixed form following a defeat to Persik Kediri and a draw with Persebaya Surabaya, after previously recording two straight victories. Much will depend on striker Alex Martins, who has a strong scoring record against PSM, although the hosts themselves have recently struggled to secure full points at home.

Player Situation:
PSM Makassar are expected to line up in a 4-4-2 formation featuring Reza Arya in goal and a forward pairing of Alex Tanque and Ricky Pratama, with the team led by coach Tomas Trucha. Dewa United are set to use a 4-3-3 system that includes Sonny Stevens in goal and Alex Martins leading the attack, under the guidance of Jan Olde Riekerink. On paper, both sides appear balanced, setting up a tactical contest that could be decided by midfield control and the sharpness of their front lines.

Result Prediction:
PSM Makassar will be without key defender and captain Yuran Fernandes, a significant absence given his leadership and influence at the back. Meanwhile, Dewa United are close to full strength, with only Hugo Gomes sidelined through injury. Ivar Jenner is expected to start after previously coming off the bench and could play an important role in the match.

Predicted Result: PSM Makassar 1-2 Dewa United.
