Dewa United vs Persija prediction | BRI Super League 31.10.2026

Dewa United vs Persija: match preview

Dewa United host Persija at Banten International Stadium in Serang on Saturday 31 October 2026, with kick-off at 19:00 WIB. It is matchday 8 of the BRI Super League, and the two sides arrive with very different records.

Form and table

Persija top the table on 18 points from 7 games, with six wins and one defeat. They have scored 17 and conceded 6, and they have taken 6 points from 3 away games. Dewa United are second on 14 points from 7 games, with 4 wins, 2 draws and 1 defeat. Their totals are 12 scored and 10 conceded, with 7 points from 3 home games.

Dewa United's three most recent league games were a 4-0 defeat at Arema FC on 25 October, a 2-0 win over Persijap on 20 October, and a 2-2 draw at Persib Bandung on 11 October. Persija won 2-1 against Persik Kediri on 26 October and 5-1 against Arema FC on 21 October, before losing 3-2 at Persita on 17 October.

Head-to-head

The two clubs have met only twice in Liga 1. Dewa United lost 1-3 to Persija on 29 August 2025, and the most recent meeting, on 15 March 2026, ended 1-1. The head-to-head record does not support our pick: one of the two games had just two goals. The other had four, so the sample is too small to settle anything.

Our pick

Our pick is Over 2.5 goals, with low confidence. Across both sides' finished league games this season, the average is 3.21 goals, which sits above the 2.5 line. Persija have scored 17 and Dewa United 12 from seven games each. That is a tendency in the numbers, not a certainty, and the thin head-to-head record is the reason our confidence stays low.
