Persib Bandung has officially solidified their place in the Championship Series, thanks in part to the recent victory of their rival team, Persija Jakarta. The latter’s triumph over Persis Solo played a significant role in securing Persib’s advancement in the competition.
Persija Jakarta emerged victorious in a match against Persis Solo, held at the Gelora Bung Karno Main Stadium. This win allowed Persija Jakarta to accumulate 41 points, ensuring their immunity from the threat of relegation. Consequently, Persib Bandung, currently positioned in second place with 56 points, is now assured a spot in the Championship Series.
Before Persija’s victory, Persis Solo posed a potential threat to Persib’s position, with the possibility of reaching a maximum of 56 points. However, Persib’s consistent performance and point accumulation have rendered them impervious to such challenges from their competitors.
In the meantime, other teams in the league, such as PSIS Semarang and Dewa United, have also found themselves unable to surpass Persib’s standing in the competition. Despite their potential to accrue the same number of points as Persib, the remaining matches in the Liga 1 2023/2024 Regular Series are insufficient to significantly alter the rankings.
With only three matches left in the Regular Series, the competition for the third and fourth place spots—the last two tickets to the Championship Series—still rages on among seven teams. Bali United and Madura United, currently in the third and fourth positions, respectively, are striving to defend their spots against other contenders such as PSIS, Dewa United, Persik Kediri, Persis, and Barito Putera.
Aside from the intense competition for a place in the Championship Series, six other teams are also working diligently to secure their safety from potential relegation. Teams such as Persikabo 1973, Arema FC, and Bhayangkara FC are putting in the effort to secure positions above the relegation zone. However, Persebaya Surabaya, PSS Sleman, RANS Nusantara, and Persita Tangerang remain at risk of falling into the lower division and must remain vigilant in the upcoming matches.
In conclusion, while Persib Bandung has secured their place in the Championship Series, the remaining matches of the Liga 1 2023/2024 season promise to be both thrilling and crucial for several teams as they strive for success in the competition and endeavor to avoid relegation.
