Persik Move To Malang
Today's Indonesia Super League clash between Persik and Arema has been switched to the Gajayana Stadium in Malang after police in Kediri refused to issue security clearance for the game to go ahead there.
There has been a history of trouble between the two sets of supporters and with Arema top of the western group it was feared large numbers would have made the relatively short journey which could have created problems.
Despite being the home team, Persik can rely on a large Arema support at the stadium to do their best to put them off. It is thought some of their fans will make the trip but with the Gajayana most definitely in Arema turf any travelling supporters will struggle to make themselves heard.
Arema are already assured of a place in the ISL play offs while Persik are struggling to avoid the drop.
