Persiku Kudus vs Persiba Balikpapan: match statistics
Persiku Kudus holds a clear home advantage in this clash between two bottom-half teams. Despite both sides' poor form, the hosts show better scoring efficiency in home matches (averaging 1.14 goals) compared to Persiba Balikpapan's mere 0.63 goals scored away. A key factor is that the visitors have failed to keep a single clean sheet on the road and were unable to score in half of their away games (FTS% 50%). Persiku Kudus also boasts superior home xG statistics (1.04 vs the visitors' 0.95 away), indicating they create better goal-scoring opportunities.
