Defending champions and current league leaders Persib Bandung will host Madura United at Gelora Bandung Lautan Api Stadium on Thursday, February 26, 2026 at 20:30 WIB.
Persib arrives with high confidence after sweeping all five recent matches. This consistency makes Maung Bandung the league's performance benchmark.
Conversely, Madura United seeks to escape its slump. In their last five matches, they managed only three draws and suffered two defeats.
The Bandung match presents both opportunity and challenge to improve their standings position.
A Persib victory could widen their lead at the top. For Madura, even a single point away would significantly boost team stability.

The standings gap is significant: Persebaya sits fifth with top-tier aspirations, while PSM languishes in 13th needing points to escape relegation pressure.
Surabaya's atmosphere promises intensity. Persebaya aims to rebound before home supporters, while PSM targets stolen points to boost morale.
