**BANTUL, INDONESIA** – Maluku United (Malut United) is determined to secure their first victory in the 2024-2025 Liga 1 season when they face Semen Padang on Friday, September 13th, at the Sultan Agung Stadium in Bantul.

Coach Imran Nahumarury stated that his team has been diligently preparing during the FIFA Matchday break, focusing on all aspects of their game to improve their performance. “We’ve made improvements in all areas,” he said, “and our target is to secure full points.”

The team, despite playing away from their home in Ternate due to renovations at the Gelora Kie Raha Stadium, remains motivated by the unwavering support from their fans in Maluku Utara. “We will focus on the game in Bantul before we can play in Ternate,” Nahumarury said. “The support and prayers of the people of Maluku Utara mean a lot to the team.”

Malut United is coming off a successful friendly international match against Kedah FC in Malaysia, winning 3-1. They aim to carry this momentum into their Liga 1 match.

The team’s recent performance has been marked by three consecutive draws against Madura United, Persebaya Surabaya, and Persik Kediri. Semen Padang, on the other hand, has recorded two losses against Borneo FC and Bali United, and a win against PSS Sleman.

Malut United will be without Brazilian defender Cassio Scheid, who is serving a three-game suspension following a red card in their opening match against Madura United. However, the team remains confident and ready to fight for victory against Semen Padang.
