The league table is allowed to rest as Kelantan United and Negeri Sembilan battle for Malaysia Cup honors in this first Round of 16 leg of two fixtures.
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
Kelantan United form and stats
Kelantan participated in Malaysia Cup the last season, where they reached the round of 16 and lost against Selangor.Kelantan United's results here at Stadium Sultan Mohammad IV in the Super League have been very modest with 1 victory, 2 draws and 4 defeats.
Kelantan United drew their last game, also a home match. PDRM was the opponent, 2-2 the score. Kelantan salvaged the draw from a difficult situation against PDRM, trailing 0-2 at one point. Not giving up resulted in Selvakumaran equalizing. Selvakumaran was able to secure the draw 2-2 in the game against PDRM after coming on as a substitute and scoring the final goal. In the starting lineup today?
A Super League defeat was the result before that one, 1-3 away at Kedah.Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the Super League game versus Terengganu in only three days. This game is also played here at Stadium Sultan Mohammad IV.
The Kelantan United fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 10 in 7 matches. Defensively there's plenty of potential for improvement as Kelantan have allowed the opposition to score 19 goals here at Stadium Sultan Mohammad IV.
