As a newly promoted team, Malut United has undergone a major squad overhaul to compete in BRI Liga 1 2024/2025. Malut United made some intriguing moves in the transfer market. Rising star Yakob Sayuri, who was previously with PSM Makassar, was signed after his contract ended. Alongside Yakob Sayuri, Yance Sayuri was also recruited by Malut United. The Sayuri brothers have consistently played for the same club. In addition to local players, Malut United has revamped its foreign player roster. New foreign recruits include Adriano Castanheira, Diego Martinez, and Cassio Scheid, all of whom are new to Indonesian football. Unlike the players, Malut United has retained two crucial figures in the coaching staff. Imran Nahumarury (head coach) and Resal Octavian (assistant coach) remain for the 2024/2025 season. However, the coaching team has seen some interesting additions. Former players Dedy Gusmawan, Aditya Putra Dewa, and Joko Ribowo will begin their debut season as coaches. These three were instrumental in helping Malut United earn promotion from Liga 2 to BRI Liga 1 last season.

Borneo FC's last 5 matches:
- 19/07/24 Borneo 2 - 0 Persis Solo
- 22/07/24 Persib 0 - 1 Borneo
- 25/07/24 Borneo 1 - 1 PSM Makassar

Semen Padang (4-3-3): Miswar Saputra; Dodi Alekvan Djin, Kim Min-gyu, Jan Vargas, Frendi Saputra; Charlie Scott, Ryohei Michibuchi, Bruno Dybal; Al Muzanni, Kenneth Ngwoke, Muhammad Iqbal. Manager: Hendri Susilo.

With their current roster, Persela Lamongan is among the most impressive teams in Liga 2. At least in terms of player market value, the team coached by Didik Ludiyanto ranks highest. According to Transfermarkt, Persela Lamongan has a market value of Rp29.2 billion, making them the fourth highest in terms of player market value in Liga 2 for the 2024/2025 season. However, this figure could increase, as Laskar Joko Tingkir is still determined to continue their recruitment drive. Once their squad is complete, Persela Lamongan could potentially break into the top three most valuable teams in Liga 2 2024/2025.

Borneo (4-3-3): Nadeo Argawinata; Fajar Fathur, Ronaldo Rodrigues, Gabriel Furtado, Leo Guntara; Christophe Nduwarugira, Rivaldo Pakpahan, Berguinho; Stefano Lilipaly, Leo Gaucho, Terens Puhiri. Coach: Pieter Huistra.

Individually, Persela Lamongan's players also have high market values. One notable player, Ezechiel Ndouasel, is listed as one of the most valuable players in Liga 2 this season. The Chad international is estimated to have a market value of Rp2.61 billion, making him the highest-valued player in Laskar Joko Tingkir. Other players with significant market values include Wawan Febrianto, Arsyad Yusgiantoro, and several others. With such a star-studded lineup, it's no surprise that Persela Lamongan is considered a strong candidate for promotion. The team also has a solid history in top-tier competitions.

Semen Padang will meet Borneo FC in the opening match of BRI Liga 1 2024/2025 at Sekolah Tinggi Ilmu Kepolisian Stadium on Monday, August 12, 2024. The Semen Padang vs Borneo FC match will kick off at 19:00 WIB, live on Indosiar and Vidio. Being a promoted team, Semen Padang has made extensive preparations. Following a training camp, Semen Padang secured a 4-0 victory over PON Sumatera Barat in a friendly. Hendri Susilo's team appears to be well-prepared. On the other hand, Borneo FC took part in the 2024 President’s Cup during the preseason. Pesut Etam performed admirably, making it to the final. Despite not winning the title, Borneo FC’s performance in the five President’s Cup 2024 matches was encouraging, indicating they are at a high level. The last encounter between Semen Padang and Borneo FC was in 2019. In their most recent match, Semen Padang and Borneo FC drew 1-1 in a match at Stadion H. Agus Salim. The goals in that game were scored by Vanderlei and Matias Conti.

The BRI Liga 1 2024/2025 season will kick off on Friday, August 9, 2024. The match between Persib Bandung and PSBS Biak at Stadion Si Jalak Harupat will mark the beginning of the new top-tier competition. Like last season, 18 clubs will participate in BRI Liga 1 2024/2025. However, this season will see the addition of three promoted teams from Liga 2: PSBS Biak, Semen Padang, and Malut United. They will replace Persikabo 1973, RANS Nusantara FC, and Bhayangkara FC, who have been relegated to Liga 2. The regulations for BRI Liga 1 2024/2025 have been released to the public, and several notable changes have been made compared to the 2023/2024 season. Here’s a detailed overview of the new regulations.

To manage their star-studded squad, Persela Lamongan has appointed Didik Ludiyanto as head coach. Didik is an experienced coach with a deep understanding of the game, having previously served as an assistant coach under various Persela Lamongan coaches, where he absorbed extensive knowledge and skills. This background makes it likely that Persela Lamongan’s promotion aspirations will become a reality. (Bola.net/Dendy Gandakusumah)
