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

Borneo FC are targeting a must-win result as they host Persita Tangerang in Week 31 of the BRI Super League at Segiri Stadium. The match is set to kick off at 19:00 WIB on Tuesday, May 5, 2026.

Team Analysis:

Borneo FC face mounting pressure in the title race after rivals Persib Bandung and Persija Jakarta secured wins, but their five-match winning streak and solid defense make them strong favorites against Persita Tangerang. Persita, however, come with renewed confidence after ending a losing run and share an equally strong defensive record, setting up a tightly contested clash despite Borneo's superior attacking output.

Player Situation:

Borneo FC are set to field their strongest lineup, with Komang Teguh and Christophe Nduwarugira forming a solid defensive partnership that delivered consecutive clean sheets in recent wins. Persita Tangerang also have a full squad available, but their attacking struggles remain evident after scoring just once in their last five matches.
