Laskar Sambernyawa Ready to Rise & Get Out of the Relegation Zone?

KabarJawa.com – The Super League competition, aka League 1, again presents a rivalry-filled duel this week. Persijap Jepara is scheduled to host Persis Solo in a match entitled the Central Java Derby at the Gelora Bumi Kartini Stadium, Thursday, March 5 2026. The match will start at 20.30 WIB.

This clash between two teams from Central Java will certainly take place in a high atmosphere. Not just regional prestige, this match also has strategic significance for the two sides who are struggling to get away from the relegation zone in the current standings.

Both Persijap and Persis need maximum points to secure their position at the bottom of the table. The small difference in numbers makes every match crucial in the current phase of the competition.

Persis Solo Rises After Important Victory

The visiting team came with a significant moral injection. Persis Solo finally ended the long pressure after achieving an important victory in its last match.

On Sunday, March 1 2026 evening WIB, Laskar Sambernyawa successfully defeated Persik Kediri with a score of 2-1 at Manahan Stadium. The additional three points were Persis’ third win this season.

These results have a direct impact on the standings. Persis has now collected 16 points from 23 matches and moved up to 17th place. They managed to shift Semen Padang FC to the bottom of the standings thanks to their superior goal difference.

The victory over Persik was a crucial moment for Persis Solo. The players’ mentality is said to be starting to lift and the opportunity to get out of the relegation zone is opening up again.

Consistency is the key if they want to continue the positive trend when they visit Jepara.

Persijap Jepara Secures Positive Capital

On the home side, Persijap Jepara also did not come without provisions. In the previous match, Laskar Kalinyamat was able to steal one point when they visited Bali United headquarters after a 0-0 draw.

These results strengthen Persijap’s position in the standings. Currently, they have collected 19 points and are just above PSBS Biak who have 18 points. For the time being, Persijap managed to get out of the relegation zone.

In the last five matches, Persijap’s performance has been quite stable. They recorded two wins, one draw and two defeats. This record shows a balance in performance, although not completely consistent.

One homework that is still in the spotlight is the final finishing. A number of opportunities created in the last few matches have not been able to be maximized into goals.

If the effectiveness of the front line can be improved, the chances of getting full points at home will certainly be greater.

Head to Head (H2H)

The history of meetings between the two teams shows a relatively balanced competition in the last few seasons. Here are their head to head records:

• 13 September 2025 – Super League: Persis Solo 1 – 2 Persijap
• 9 November 2021 – League 2: Persis Solo 5 – 2 Persijap

Persijap vs Persis Score Prediction March 5 2026

Playing at the Gelora Bumi Kartini Stadium provides distinct advantages for Persijap Jepara. The home public’s support could potentially be an additional driving factor in this crucial match.

However, Persis Solo came with a rising mentality after his last victory. The motivation to get out of the relegation zone is certain to be a strong encouragement for Laskar Sambernyawa.

Under these conditions, the match is predicted to be tight and with minimal errors. Both teams will likely appear cautious, especially in the first half, to avoid conceding first.

Seeing the equally urgent need for points, this match has the potential to end in a draw with a narrow score.

Score Prediction

• Persijap Jepara 1 – 1 Persis Solo

Thus, there is a slim possibility of victory for the team that is able to score first in the first half.

However, keep in mind that anything can happen in football. So, if you are curious about the real results, then you can watch the Persijap vs Persis match live which will be held next Thursday night.***
