This promises to be an action-packed encounter for PSM at Stadion Kapten I Wayan Dipta when the AFC Cup tournament arrives in town and Sabah with it. Read all about the Group Stage match here!
Sabah have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 2700 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
