Football Livescore | Match Prediction & Tips
-----------------------------
Persebaya Surabaya will face Semen Padang in a crucial Liga 1 match on Sunday (May 11). Persebaya, currently in third place, is fighting to secure a spot in Asian competitions with just three games remaining. They are closely competing with Dewa United, while Malut United is just one point behind. On the other hand, Semen Padang is struggling to avoid relegation, sitting in 15th place, only one point above the relegation zone.

Team Analysis:
Despite being unbeaten in their last six matches, Persebaya Surabaya, under coach Paul Munster, has only won two games, with the other four ending in draws. Their inconsistent performance is a concern, especially with just three matches remaining. Additionally, Persebaya has never won against Semen Padang in their last three encounters, all of which ended in draws.
On the other hand, Semen Padang, led by Eduardo Almeida, is on a winning streak, including a recent victory over Persija Jakarta. This positive momentum, combined with their fight to avoid relegation, could make Semen Padang a tough opponent and potentially spring a surprise in the upcoming match.

Player Situation:
Persebaya's squad is nearly at full strength, with only Muhammad Hidayat sidelined due to a knee injury. Semen Padang, however, faces selection issues, with Muhammad Iqbal out due to a knock and Marco Baixinho unavailable because of a cruciate ligament injury.

Result Prediction:
Considering recent form and head-to-head records, the match is expected to be tight and balanced. While Persebaya has the advantage in league position and squad quality, Semen Padang is on a positive streak and highly motivated to avoid relegation.

Predicted Result: Persebaya Surabaya 2-1 Semen Padang.
