Predictions & Betting Tips

Survival battle set to be settled in favour of Barito

Two of the three worst teams in Indonesia’s top-flight will do battle on Saturday when rock-bottom PSIS Semarang face Barito Putra, who are in 17th place and still fighting for survival. The hosts are already doomed to drop down a level as they enter this clash having lost five straight Liga 1 games. The last of those was a 5-1 thrashing at the hands of mid-table Malut United just four days ago. Barito Putra are only marginally better with two draws and three defeats in their last five, but the PSIS Semarang vs Barito Putra prediction is that they are the ones who are still in with a chance of avoiding relegation. They will be looking to Vitor Tinoco’s men to get them the three points they need as they are favourites at -196 compared to PSIS at +495.

No information on PSIS tactics available

Barito have won three times in their 16 away games in the 2024-2025 season, but our PSIS Semarang vs Barito Putra prediction is to recommend them to get the job done on Saturday as they are the only ones with any momentum. Tinoco’s team have also scored 21 goals in 16 away matches and should play on the front foot to create chances. There is no tactical information on PSIS, but their results suggest they are not solid at the back and have struggled to create and finish off chances. Ridwan was appointed on April 29, 2025 and has yet to earn a point since taking over as coach. In this PSIS Semarang vs Barito Putra preview, a draw is quoted at +340, but we like the visitors’ odds and the over 2.5 goals option. Septian David Maulana is the most reliable finisher PSIS have had in recent weeks, so they will hope he can help end their scoring drought in front of their own fans and help them notch a win that would be crucial to their chances of staying up. Maulana has scored two of PSIS’s last five Liga 1 goals while Barito’s best hope of a goal is veteran striker Jaime Moreno, who has two in their previous four. Furthermore, our PSIS Semarang vs Barito Putra betting tips point towards Barito getting the result they need amid both teams’ recent struggles.
