Persib Tertinggal 5 Poin dari Persija, Dominasi Maung Bandung Habis?

Persib Bandung merely secured a 2-2 draw against Dewa United in matchweek 4 of the 2026/2027 Super League, leaving the team five points behind league leaders Persija Jakarta. With seven points from four matches, Persib sits in eighth place, sandwiched between Persik Kediri and Arema FC. The result raises questions about whether the team's early-season dominance has faded, though history suggests such gaps are often temporary. Persija Jakarta cemented their spot at the summit with a commanding 4-0 victory over PSIM Yogyakarta, accumulating 12 points from four games. The Pangeran Biru's flawless start contrasts sharply with Persib's inconsistent opening, yet the gap of five points, while significant, remains within reach as the season progresses. Looking back at the last three campaigns, Persib has often found itself trailing the pace early on, only to mount late-season charges. In 2023/2024, the team even languished in the relegation zone by matchweek 4, while in 2025/2026 they sat six points behind after just four rounds. These precedents serve as a reminder that current standings may not dictate the final outcome, urging both Persib and Persija to maintain focus as the league unfolds.
