Compared to the previous season, Persija Jakarta has made few changes to their squad. Key players like Hanif Sjahbandi and Syahrian Abimanyu, who were rumored to be transferring, chose to remain. Marko Simic and Gustavo Almeida have also stayed with the team. Persija Jakarta has lost two senior players, Maman Abdulrahman and Tony Sucipto. However, other experienced players like Andritany Ardhiyasa and Riko Simanjuntak remain to provide leadership. Persija Jakarta has promoted young talents to the senior squad. After the generation of Dony Tri Pamungkas, the new 16-year-old player Zahabi Gholy has been introduced. Zahabi made his debut in the Piala Presiden 2024. Despite few changes in the player roster, Persija Jakarta has undergone a notable coaching change. Thomas Doll has been replaced by Carlos Pena from Spain. Pena is anticipated to strengthen the team and achieve better results than in the Piala Presiden 2024. Additionally, there has been a change in team captaincy. For the 2024/2025 season, the captaincy has been taken over by Rizky Ridho from Andritany Ardhiyasa.

In fifth place is Alfeandra Dewangga. The PSIS Semarang defender has an estimated market value of Rp5.21 billion, making him the third most valuable player at PSIS Semarang. At 23, Dewangga is also ranked 24th among the highest-valued players in Liga 1 2024/2025. Last season, he was a crucial player for Laskar Mahesa Jenar, appearing in 26 matches, scoring two goals and providing one assist.

Arema FC will be playing in front of their home fans, which could be a key factor in boosting player motivation. However, there is also a potential for Singo Edan to be mentally fatigued after their intense pre-season battles in the 2024 Presidential Cup. Dewa United boasts a very strong squad. But if coach Riekerink fails to mold them into a cohesive unit, this great talent could become a disadvantage. To win, Dewa United needs to play collectively. Predicted Score: Arema FC 2-2 Dewa United.

Persib Bandung vs PSBS Biak will be played starting at 19:00 WIB, broadcast live on Indosiar and Vidio. This fixture serves as the opening match for BRI Liga 1 2024/2025. The match will be held at Stadion Si Jalak Harupat. Persib Bandung is the reigning champion of BRI Liga 1. In the previous season, Maung Bandung won against Madura United in the final. Meanwhile, PSBS Biak won Liga 2 last season. They defeated Semen Padang in the final. PSBS Biak, despite being a promoted side, should not be taken lightly. PSBS Biak has bolstered their team. Jeam Kelly Sroyer has been signed to enhance their attacking power. Moreover, there is an 'Argentinian contingent' led by coach Juan Esnaider. Persib Bandung needs to address their fans' doubts following the 2024 President’s Cup. The way to achieve this is by securing a win against PSBS Biak. Coach Bojan Hodak is ready to deliver three points to the Bobotoh. "Every match in the league is crucial, and we need to secure three points. This year, as champions, every team we face will give their all," said Bojan Hodak. "Therefore, we must stay focused game by game," the Croatian coach added.

Bhayangkara FC is deeply disappointed with their performance in the 2023/2024 season, which saw them relegated from BRI Liga 1. As a result, The Guardians will compete in Liga 2 for the upcoming season. However, Bhayangkara FC is determined not to remain in the second tier of Indonesian football for long. The club is focused on a swift return to BRI Liga 1. To achieve this, they have been preparing seriously and have been in intense training since early June 2024. The squad for Liga 2 has been strengthened with the addition of players such as Ilija Spasojevic from Bali United and Andy Setyo from Persikabo 1973, both of whom have represented the Indonesian national team.

In addition, Bhayangkara FC has re-signed experienced senior player Ruben Sanadi, who has a proven track record of helping PSBS Biak secure promotion to Liga 1. The team has also retained several key players including Matias Mier, Junior Brandao, Dendy Sulistyawan, Putu Gede, Muhammad Hargianto, and Awan Setho. Matias Mier will continue to be the core of Bhayangkara FC's midfield. The Uruguayan midfielder scored 23 goals and provided 14 assists in 46 Liga 1 appearances. Junior Brandao, who was a top scorer contender last season, contributed 16 goals and four assists in 30 matches after joining from Madura United in mid-2023/24. For the upcoming Liga 2 season, Bhayangkara FC will not have Radja Nainggolan, as his contract was not renewed. With these changes, Bhayangkara FC is well-positioned to secure a return to Liga 1, awaiting the tactical approach of coach Gomes de Oliveira, known for his extensive experience in Indonesian football.
