Marc Klok Targets Maximum Points for Persib
Persib captain Marc Klok emphasized his squad’s hunger to secure three points at home to stay competitive at the top of the table. Klok acknowledged that the fixture presents a significant challenge given Persik’s tactical organization in recent seasons.
Kediri is a good team. They have good players and always have a philosophy to play. And in the last few years, it’s always been hard for us against them,
Klok said. Despite those difficulties, Klok noted that the team’s strong home record provides confidence ahead of kickoff.

Marcos Reina Evaluates Persib Squad Depth
Persik head coach Marcos Reina pointed to Persib's demanding schedule as a factor his team hopes to exploit, noting that the hosts played Dewa United on Oct. 11 and an ACL Two match against The Cong Viettel on Oct. 14. Despite that congestion, Reina warned that Maung Bandung retains immense quality through player rotation.
They play every three or four days. That is very difficult and certainly makes players more tired. But at the same time, they are supported by a very strong squad depth with many quality players,
Reina stated. Reina added that Persik enters the match in a positive mental state following a productive recovery period.
