Fast-Track to Glory: How Persib Bandung Could Clinch the Liga 1 Title Early
Persib Bandung currently sits at the top of the Liga 1 standings with a total of 58 points. Their most recent match ended in a 1-1 draw against Borneo FC Samarinda on April 11, 2025, earning them a valuable point on the road. Meanwhile, Dewa United, trailing by eight points with 50, remains a serious contender for the title.
Despite a goalless draw against Bali United in their last match, Dewa United is still in the race. If they manage to win all six of their remaining games, they could finish the season with a maximum of 68 points. These matches include encounters with PSS Sleman (away), Malut United (home), Barito Putera (away), Persita Tangerang (home), Persis Solo (away), and PSBS Biak (home).
To secure the championship without depending on Dewa United’s results, Persib needs to surpass that potential 68-point mark. That means they must earn at least 12 more points — equivalent to four wins — from their upcoming fixtures.
What works in Persib's favor is that three of their next four matches will be played at home. They’ll host Bali United, PSS Sleman, and Barito Putera. Of these, PSS and Barito are currently struggling near the bottom of the standings, ranked 18th and 13th respectively, which could give Persib an advantage. Bali United, sitting mid-table in ninth place, might pose a greater challenge.
Their only away match in this critical stretch will be against Malut United, a newly promoted team that has exceeded expectations and is now ranked fourth. Malut has been particularly tough at home and remains unbeaten in their last ten matches, making that fixture a potential stumbling block.
Nonetheless, this is the most straightforward route for Persib to clinch back-to-back Liga 1 titles. The scenario could unfold even faster if Dewa United drops points along the way, further easing Persib’s path to championship glory.
