The fourth week of BRI Super League 2026/2027 features two high-profile matches. Persib Bandung will host league leaders Dewa United at Si Jalak Harupat Stadium. Meanwhile, Persija Jakarta will aim to extend their winning run on an away trip to PSIM Yogyakarta.
Persib is scheduled to welcome Dewa United on Sunday 11 October at 19.00 WIB. This fixture serves as a critical test for Maung Bandung to sustain their momentum, following their victory over Persijap Jepara in the previous matchweek.
Igor Tolic's squad will need consistent performance to challenge Dewa United, who currently sit top of the provisional standings with 10 points from four matches. This record means the visiting side will arrive carrying full confidence.

Shin Tae-yong is not yet satisfied even though Persija Jakarta have won all three of their opening matches in the Super League.
Persib will play all matches at Si Jalak Harupat throughout October, here are the three home fixtures for Maung Bandung.

This clash between Persib and Dewa United is expected to be tightly contested. Encounters between the two clubs have produced fierce, evenly matched battles across recent seasons, meaning Persib must maximise their home ground advantage.
For Maung Bandung, three points would allow them to climb the league table while retaining positive momentum during the competition's packed fixture schedule. However, facing the league leaders will require full disciplined performance from kickoff right until the final whistle.
Persija's Mission To Protect Perfect Unbeaten Run
Elsewhere, Persija Jakarta face a different kind of challenge. Macan Kemayoran will travel to PSIM Yogyakarta's Sultan Agung Stadium in Bantul, with kickoff scheduled for Saturday 10 October at 15.30 WIB.
Persija enter this fixture on the back of three consecutive victories, having previously beaten Borneo FC, Persib Bandung and Java United. The capital club are targeting to continue this positive run on away soil.
While Persija carry strong momentum into this match, Shin Tae-yong's side must retain full focus - away fixtures always present unique, unpredictable challenges regardless of form.
For the hosts PSIM, this match represents an urgent chance to turn around their poor start to the season. The Yogyakarta-based side have only collected 1 single point from three opening matches, recording one draw and two defeats.
This situation acts as major motivation for PSIM to chase their first win of the campaign, with home supporter backing at Sultan Agung Stadium expected to drive the hosts to put up a tough fight against Persija.
This fixture will test Persija's ability to maintain consistent form. Having overcome their first three opponents, Macan Kemayoran will need to remain sharp and disciplined to avoid ending their winning streak in Bantul.
Other Standout Fixtures
Beyond these two headline matches, matchweek 4 of the Super League also brings other interesting clashes. Persik Kediri will face Madura United, while Bali United are set to host Persijap Jepara.
Java United will also take on Borneo FC. Results across this full round of fixtures are set to reshape the early season league standings, especially for clubs looking to establish their position early in the campaign.
