After an exciting match at the Gelora Bung Karno Main Stadium, Persija Jakarta emerged triumphant over Persis Solo with a 1-0 victory. This win not only ensured Persija’s safety from the threat of relegation with 41 points but also played a pivotal role in paving the way for Persib Bandung to progress to the Championship Series.
As a consequence of Persija’s triumph, Persib Bandung, presently in second place with 56 points, now holds a secured position in the Championship Series. The victory also extinguished the aspirations of other contenders, such as Persis Solo, who currently holds the eighth position with 44 points, from closing the gap on Persib Bandung’s substantial lead.
Despite the defeat, Persis Solo still held a slim chance of surpassing Persib Bandung if they had emerged victorious in the match and secured maximum points. However, other contenders such as PSIS Semarang and Dewa United are also unable to surpass Persib Bandung due to losing head-to-head matches against Bojan Hodak’s team.
With only three matches remaining in the Regular Series, Persib Bandung only needs to secure a single draw to solidify their position in the Championship Series. Meanwhile, the competition for the remaining two spots in the Championship Series is intensifying as seven teams are vying for the third and fourth positions.
Bali United and Madura United currently hold the third and fourth positions with 52 and 50 points respectively. Nevertheless, they are still at risk of being overtaken by PSIS, Dewa United, Persik Kediri, Persis, and Barito Putera in the remaining matches.
The culmination of Liga 1 2023/2024 promises to be a fiercely contested affair, with six teams battling to secure themselves from the threat of relegation. While Persikabo 1973 is destined for relegation to League 2, Arema FC and Bhayangkara FC still have an opportunity to climb out of the relegation zone.
Furthermore, Persebaya Surabaya, PSS Sleman, RANS Nusantara, and Persita Tangerang are confronted with the imminent possibility of relegation as Arema FC is within reach of surpassing their points and securing safety from relegation.
The struggle for survival and the race for the Championship Series is poised to make the final three weeks of Liga 1 2023/2024 a captivating spectacle for football enthusiasts everywhere. As the competition intensifies, the resolve of these teams will undoubtedly result in exhilarating matches and unpredictable outcomes.
