The competition for the Championship Series in Liga 1 2023/2024 is intensifying, and Persib Bandung has secured their spot as a result of Persija Jakarta’s recent performance. Following Persija’s triumph over Persis Solo, Maung Bandung’s position in the Championship Series has become virtually guaranteed.
Persija Jakarta’s victory against Persis Solo has allowed them to accumulate 41 points, ensuring their safety from the threat of relegation. Consequently, Arema FC, currently in 16th place with 31 points, no longer has the opportunity to close the gap and match Persija’s point total.
This triumph not only solidified Persija’s position, but it also confirmed Persib’s place in the Championship Series. With 56 points, it is now unattainable for Persis Solo, currently in eighth place with 44 points, to catch up to Persib.
Prior to their defeat by Persija, Persis still had a chance to displace Persib and secure a place in the Championship Series. However, their loss to Persija extinguished those aspirations. Moreover, other contenders such as PSIS Semarang and Dewa United are also incapable of displacing Persib from their second-place position.
Looking forward, the remaining three matches of the Liga 1 2023/2024 Regular Series will be pivotal. Despite only needing one draw from these matches to secure their place in the Championship Series, the competition for the third and fourth spots remains open to seven teams.
Presently, Bali United and Madura United occupy the third and fourth positions, but they are at risk of being surpassed by PSIS, Dewa United, Persik Kediri, Persis, and Barito Putera in the remaining matches.
The forthcoming weeks of Liga 1 2023/2024 will not only determine the teams for the Championship Series, but also the teams that will face relegation to League 2 next season. While Persikabo 1973 is already set to be relegated, teams such as Arema FC and Bhayangkara FC are still vying to avoid the relegation zone.
Additionally, Persebaya Surabaya, PSS Sleman, RANS Nusantara, and Persita Tangerang are also on edge as they have not yet secured safety from the possibility of relegation. With only three matches remaining, the pressure is on as these teams strive to secure their position in Liga 1 for the next season.
The competition in Liga 1 2023/2024 is fierce, and the remaining matches are expected to yield thrilling and conclusive outcomes as teams battle for their place in the Championship Series and strive to evade relegation.
