The match for third place in the Indonesian League 1 will take place on Thursday, 30 May. The Borneo team will play against Bali United. The match will start at 14:00 CET. Dailysports experts have prepared a forecast for this game.
Borneo
The team had a very good regular season. In 34 matches, they scored 70 points and took first place in the standings. Borneo started the playoffs as one of the leaders to win the title. However, the end of the regular season was disastrous - one draw and four defeats. All of this was reflected in the playoffs. Borneo lost in two semi-final matches. First, they lost 0-1 away from home, and then lost in the return leg 2-3.
The other team went to the final, and Borneo is competing for bronze. In the first game, the team failed to win, despite playing with a power play from the 60th minute. Currently, Borneo is facing a clear game crisis - eight matches without a win: six defeats and two draws.
Bali United
The team took third place in the regular season. In 34 matches, Bali scored 58 points, three points ahead of the fourth team and four points behind the second. It was the second team in the league, Persib Bandung, that they met in the semi-finals. United drew 1-1 at home. Persib managed to equalise in the 90+9th minute. In the return leg, Bali was unable to put up a fight and lost 0-3. In the first game for third place, Bali United played to a zero-all draw with Borneo.
The fate of the bronze medals will be decided on Thursday, 30 May. If we talk about the game form, I will also take the last eight matches, as in the case of Borneo. Bali United have drawn twice, lost three times and won three.

Borneo vs Bali United prediction
Both teams are in poor form at the moment. Both Borneo and Bali United have not won for a long time. Nevertheless, obviously, the two teams will want to win medals. And, in my opinion, Borneo is closer to it. They play better against Bali (four wins and a draw in recent matches) and United are not performing at their best on the road (seven games without a win). My bet is the victory of Borneo with odds of 1.77.
