Persik Kediri will host Madura United in the fourth week of the 2026/2027 BRI Super League at Brawijaya Stadium, Kediri, on Friday (9/10/2026) starting at 15.30 WIB. The duel is a real test for Macan Putih, who are eager to end their opponent's perfect record while maintaining momentum near the top of the standings.
Madura United have surged with three straight wins since the start of the season. That record places Laskar Sapeh Kerrab among the most feared teams, at least through the third week. Persik coach Marcos Reina is fully aware of the quality of his upcoming opponent. He considers Madura United's consistency no coincidence, but the product of well-drilled tactics and a resilient competitive mentality.
Despite facing a team at peak form, Reina remains optimistic. Support from the fans at Brawijaya is believed to be a game-changing factor. The Spanish tactician stressed that his team cannot afford the slightest lapse. "They are a good team. It is impossible for a team to win three times in a row if they are not very good. That is why we must be very focused to hand them their first defeat in Kediri," Reina said, as quoted from his statement to the media.
For Persik, this match is not merely about chasing three points. There is pride and ambition to prove that Reina's side can compete at the highest level. A win over Madura United would be a serious signal to other contenders that Macan Putih deserve to be reckoned with in the title race. Conversely, a defeat could erode the confidence they have built with great effort.
From the Madura United camp, three straight wins are clearly a valuable asset. However, playing at an away ground known for its intimidating atmosphere will be a test of its own. Coach Ze Gomez is likely to keep the formula that has proven effective, relying on quick transitions and a disciplined back line. Laskar Sapeh Kerrab will not give up easily, especially knowing that a positive result in Kediri would further strengthen their position at the top of the standings.

The match also draws attention because it pits two different football philosophies against each other. Persik under Reina tend to patiently build attacks and exploit the width of the pitch. Madura United, meanwhile, rely more on speed and the effectiveness of counterattacks. Whoever can impose their rhythm from the start will have the best chance of taking home all three points.
For the national football public, this duel is an interesting indicator of the balance of power in the BRI Super League this season. Are Madura United truly a solid team and worthy title favorites, or will Persik prove that they are serious challengers? The answer will be visible on the grass of Brawijaya Stadium.
The match can be watched via live streaming on Vidio and a live broadcast on Indosiar. Kick-off is scheduled for 15.30 WIB. Will Macan Putih be able to silence their visitors, or will Laskar Sapeh Kerrab continue their winning party? Football always has a way of surprising.
