Persib Bandung's Path to ACL 2 Knockout Stage: A Breakdown

Persib Bandung's fate in the AFC Champions League 2 (ACL 2) hangs in the balance, with their final group stage match against Zhejiang proving crucial. To secure qualification, Persib must achieve a specific result in this encounter.

The ACL 2 is now in its final phase, and Persib find themselves in a precarious position. Currently occupying the fourth spot in Group F with 5 points, they trail Zhejiang (6 points), Lion City Sailors (7 points), and the already qualified Port City FC (10 points).

Persib, currently at the bottom of the group, still has a chance to qualify for the next round of the AFC Champions League 2 (ACL 2). With two spots up for grabs, they will compete against Zhejiang and Lion City Sailors.

Persib Bandung's qualifying scenario for ACL 2

Persib Bandung must defeat Zhejiang tomorrow at the Si Jalak Harupat Stadium to stay in the AFC Champions League.

Even if they win, their qualification hinges on Lion City Sailors losing to Port FC. A Persib win coupled with a Lion City Sailors loss would secure second place for Maung Bandung with 8 points.

A Persib win and a Lion City Sailors draw would level both teams on 7 points. However, Persib would still advance due to their head-to-head record over Lion City Sailors.

Persib lost their previous encounter against Zhejiang 0-1 in China last October.
