-----------------------------

The 26th week of the 2025–26 Super League resumes after the Eid holiday and FIFA Matchday break with a match between Arema FC and Malut United. The game is scheduled to take place on April 3, 2026, at Kanjuruhan Stadium, kicking off at 15:30 WIB.

Team Analysis:

This match is a crucial moment for Malut United to secure their top-four position, as they currently sit fourth with 45 points under pressure from close rivals while facing tough competition from the league's top three teams. With nine games remaining, every point matters, and despite the slim title chances, they have a solid opportunity to win against a weakened Arema FC side.

Player Situation:

Arema will be without several key foreign players, including Dalberto, Pablo Oliveira, and Matheus Blade, who are suspended after receiving red cards in the previous match. Joel Vinícius is also unavailable due to yellow card accumulation, while Walisson Maia remains sidelined with an injury.

Result Prediction:

Missing several key players is a major setback for Arema, especially Dalberto, who leads the team with 14 goals this season. Even so, while Malut United has a strong chance to capitalize on the situation, Arema FC cannot be underestimated, particularly when playing at home.

Predicted Result: Arema FC 1-2 Malut United.
