Persib Face Dewa United in BRI Super League: Peralta, Oratmangoen, Haye, and Teja the Pillars

Persib Bandung return to domestic competition with a mission to take full points when they host Dewa United on the fourth matchday of the 2026/2027 BRI Super League at Si Jalak Harupat Stadium, Bandung Regency, on Sunday (11/10/2026). The match is a test of consistency after Maung Bandung successfully stole three points at Port FC's home ground in the ASEAN Club Championship.

The dramatic 3-1 win over Port Lions in Group B gave Igor Tolic's squad a morale boost. However, facing Dewa United, nicknamed the Banten Warriors, is no easy task. The visitors are said to have evenly distributed player quality, so Persib are required to play with discipline from the first minute.

Coach Igor Tolic is predicted to continue relying on four key players who have been the backbone of the team's play. They are Mariano Peralta, Ragnar Oratmangoen, Thom Haye, and Teja Paku Alam. Their roles are believed to be decisive in shaping the course of the match.

Mariano Peralta is the most scrutinized figure. The Argentine winger put in an impressive performance with one goal and one assist against Port FC. His speed and boldness in breaking through the opponent's defense are Persib's main weapon for creating chances from the flanks.

Besides Peralta, Ragnar Oratmangoen is also drawing attention. The Indonesia national team forward was not played against Port FC, so his condition is predicted to be fresher. His ability to control the ball, find space, and move between the opponent's defensive lines could trouble Dewa United's back line.

Manager and Commissioner of PT Persib Bandung Bermartabat (PBB), Umuh Muchtar, expressed his confidence in Persib's new coach, Igor Tolic, to continue the team's achievements next season.

In midfield, Thom Haye is a key pillar. The 31-year-old midfielder is known for his strong playing vision and accurate ball distribution. His passes often open space for the forwards. His contribution was visible against Port FC, where his long ball to the front line was relayed by Luka Menalo to Berguinho and resulted in a goal.

Between the posts, Teja Paku Alam remains the first choice. The goalkeeper from Painan, West Sumatra, has quick reflexes and often makes crucial saves. Against Dewa United, his consistency will be tested throughout the match. His brilliant performance in the win over Port FC is the benchmark.

With a squad of quality players, Persib have a strong chance of getting the maximum result in front of their own supporters. However, Dewa United are not an opponent to be underestimated. This match will be proof of whether Persib can maintain their positive trend in domestic competition.

Will those four key players once again be the difference-makers? The answer will be seen on the green pitch of Si Jalak Harupat.
