Persib Bandung has significantly strengthened their position at the summit of the Super League 2025/26 standings, following a crucial victory over Malut United. This win further cements their status as the team to beat in the thrilling title race.
Playing on their home turf at the Gelora Bandung Lautan Api Stadium on Friday night (February 6), Persib delivered a dominant performance to secure a 2-0 triumph. The two decisive goals for ‘Pangeran Biru‘ (The Blue Prince) came from Thom Haye, who calmly converted a penalty in the 36th minute, followed by a powerful strike from Saddil Ramdani just three minutes from full-time in the 87th minute.
With the invaluable addition of three points, Persib now sits comfortably entrenched at the top, boasting an impressive 47 points. Their formidable record includes 15 victories, two draws, and just three defeats, underscoring their consistency throughout the campaign.
Persib currently holds a four-point advantage over second-placed Borneo FC.

Meanwhile, occupying the third spot in the league table is Persija, who have accumulated 41 points but have played one more match than the leaders, Persib.
On the other side of the pitch, Malut United finds themselves holding onto fourth place with 37 points. Their defeat to Persib marks their fifth loss of the season, a campaign that has also seen them register four draws and 11 victories.
In another notable encounter, PSIM Jogja was unable to secure maximum points, settling for a goalless draw against visiting side Persis Solo. The match, held at the Sultan Agung Stadium in Bantul, concluded with a 0-0 stalemate, leaving both teams with a single point.
This solitary point sees PSIM now sitting in seventh position in the league standings with a total of 31 points. Conversely, Persis Solo continues to languish at the very bottom of the table, having only managed to accumulate 11 points so far this season, highlighting their struggle for form.
