Prediction: Persepam Madura Utd vs Arema FC Betting Tips

This match between Persepam Madura Utd and Arema FC at Gelora Ratu Pamelingan Stadium on February 21, 2026, is expected to be competitive. Persepam’s recent form has been weak, with only 13% attack success and 33% defensive stability, while Arema FC boasts an impressive 86% form over their last five games. The winning probability tilts towards Arema FC, especially considering their head-to-head dominance.

Persepam Madura Utd faces squad challenges, with an emphasis on maintaining defensive solidity after conceding an average of 1.4 goals per game. Arema FC’s squad features experienced players like Luiz Gustavo and Gabriel Silva, likely to influence ball control and tempo. Injuries and suspensions are not prominently reported, indicating both teams are near full strength.

If Persepam Madura Utd scores first in the match at Gelora Ratu Pamelingan Stadium, expect a cautious approach from both sides, but potentially more attacking intent from Arema FC based on recent form, especially given their previous results against Persepam. A draw or away win is increasingly likely if Arema FC manages to equalize or take the lead.

Expect Arema FC to adopt an attacking pressing system, aiming to capitalize on counter-attacks given Persepam’s loss record and defensive vulnerabilities. Set pieces may also be critical as both teams have maintained a decent record with clean sheets at times, but Persepam’s failure to score in some recent matches suggests under 2.5 goals could be a key focus.
