Persib Bandung vs PSIM Yogyakarta
PREDICTION / ANALYSIS / ODDS

Persib Bandung hosts PSIM Yogyakarta in Liga 1 on Monday, 4 May 2026 at Gelora Bandung Lautan Api Stadium. The league leaders welcome an out-of-form visitor in Matchday 31 of Indonesia's top division. Persib sits atop the table with 69 points, while PSIM languish in 11th with just 39. This is a fixture between a title contender and a struggling mid-table side fighting for consistency.

Persib Bandung arrives in outstanding form: 3 wins and 2 draws across their last five matches, scoring 11 goals while conceding only 6. Their defence is solid and their attacking threat evident. By contrast, PSIM Yogyakarta have won just once in their past five games, accumulating four losses and a single draw. They have scored only 3 goals while shipping 7 in that same span, indicating severe defensive fragility. The gulf in current trajectory is stark.

Bookmakers heavily favour the hosts at 1.28, while the draw stands at 5.26 and an away win at 9.78. The statistical model concurs with a 45% home win probability against a 45% draw likelihood, assigning only 10% to an upset. The model rates Persib's form and attack substantially above PSIM's, though Persib's defence (54%) edges its opponent (46%) only marginally.

Pick to watch: Persib Bandung to win outright at 1.28 remains the cornerstone play. The league leaders are dominant at home, in stellar form, and face a leaky defensive unit. While the statistical model suggests a genuine draw possibility, the market conviction and Persib's title ambition and superior recent record make them the clear backing.
