Jakarta (ANTARA) – The fifth week of the BRI Super League 2025/2026 will feature an interesting match between Arema FC and Dewa United at Kanjuruhan Stadium, Malang on Saturday (13/9) at 3.30pm WIB. This match can be watched live via Indosiar and the Vidio streaming service.
Both teams have an even match record. In their last six matches they have each achieved two wins, two draws and two defeats. This means that this fifth week’s matchup is expected to be fierce.
Last season, Arema FC had to concede the superiority of Dewa United with a score of 0-2 when playing in Tangerang, but managed a goalless draw in Malang. Now Singo Edan arrives with better capital after recording a positive start at the start of the 2025/2026 season.
Arema FC is listed as one of the five undefeated teams. In four matches they have collected eight points, the result of two wins and two draws. This record places Marcos Santos’ team in third place in the table.

Arema’s strength in attack relies heavily on the Brazilian striker, Dalberto Luan Belo, who has scored six of the team’s seven goals this season. This score also places him as the league’s temporary top scorer. However, the dependence on Dalberto is a particular note for the team.
Meanwhile, Dewa United did not show their best performance. The team nicknamed Banten Warrior, which finished second last season, has only one win and three losses. With just three points they are now at the bottom of the table.
Dewa United’s new defender Nick Kuipers underlined his team’s optimism for the recovery. “I believe we are a strong team with extraordinary players. But we have to change and we all know it. One thing is important, we don’t give up and we will move forward,” said the former Persib Bandung player, quoted by the club’s official website.
Arema goalkeeper Adi Satryo believes that even if his team was not defeated, an evaluation still needs to be made. “We still have to reflect, because there are still many mistakes. I hope that I personally and my friends can grow again in the future,” he said.
With both teams motivated, this match is expected to be close. Arema FC have ambitions to continue the positive trend at home, while Dewa United arrive with a strong determination to overcome adversity.
