Borneo FC catches up with Persib at the top of the standings, BRI Super League title race heats up.

Borneo FC is increasing the pressure on Persib Bandung in the race for the BRI Super League 2025/2026 title. The team nicknamed Pesut Etam has now successfully matched Persib's points tally after both teams achieved different results in the 29th week of the competition.

Borneo FC concluded the 29th week's matches with a convincing 3-0 victory over Semen Padang FC at Segiri Stadium, Samarinda, East Kalimantan, on Saturday night, April 25, 2026. These three crucial points have moved them closer to the top of the Standings.

Meanwhile, Persib Bandung failed to capitalize on their home game against Arema FC. The match held at Gelora Bandung Lautan Api Stadium on Friday, April 24, 2026, ended goalless, forcing Maung Bandung to settle for a single point.

This outcome leaves both Persib and Borneo tied at 66 points from 29 matches this season. Despite identical points, Persib retains the top position in the provisional standings due to their superior head-to-head record against Borneo FC, based on official I.League data.

In their first meeting this season, Persib won 3-1 against Borneo FC on December 5, 2025. During the second-round match at Segiri Stadium on March 15, 2026, both teams drew 1-1.

The championship battle is intensifying. With five matches remaining, Persib faces immense pressure to maintain their lead while pursuing historic back-to-back-to-back league titles.

Persib is scheduled to play Bhayangkara Presisi Lampung FC away on Thursday, April 30, 2026, in what's predicted to be a challenging fixture.

Meanwhile, Borneo FC has an opportunity to claim the top spot first. Pesut Etam will visit Persik Kediri's home ground on Wednesday, April 29, 2026. A maximum-point result would significantly pressure Persib in this season's title race.
