Match begins: 13:00 (UTC)

Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Johor Darul Ta'zim & Sabah face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Malaysia Cup. All the pre-match information is available here!

It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Ta'zim and Sabah.

These teams have little in common geographically as Sabah have to travel 3500 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

Johor Darul Ta'zim form and stats

Last season their Malaysia Cup adventure ended in the 8th finals.

Johor Darul Ta'zim have been very solid at home in the Super League so far, with 28 points collected from 11 matches (9-1-1). This has contributed greatly to their 1st position in the table. This match is a Malaysia Cup match, and the hometeam has the total statistics 3 wins, 0 draws and 0 losses in this competition. Ta'zim has a nice streak going on as they have played twelve consecutive leaguegames without losing (regardless of home/away). They are keen to extend their tally, a streak that began after the Terengganu defeat 191 days ago.

A good away victory last time out for Johor Darul Ta'zim, who won 2-0 against Sabah.

Previous to that game, a Malaysia Cup home match hosting MISC in a game that was won 1-0.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Ta'zim as they are travelling to their away game against MISC in the Malaysia Cup. That match is four days after this one.

With an average of more than two goals per home game in the league (26 in 11 games), Ta'zim's attacking play is working. As for guarding their own goal, Ta'zim have only let in 4 goals at home.

Sabah form and stats

They also participated in Malaysia Cup last season. This ended in the group stage.

Sabah have only collected 5 points from their away games in the Super League, after 0-5-6 (11 played). The mentioned statistics is only from the league, looking at the Malaysia Cup stats, they have 0 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss both home and away. The sun doesn’t shine and the birds do not sing for Sabah, who have now gone ten games without a victory. The Melaka United game was their last win and it’s been a dry spell since.

The manager D. Kurniawan was unhappy after their last game, a Malaysia Cup match played at their home ground Stadium Likas. Sabah suffered a 0-2 loss to Johor Darul Ta'zim.

Before that, Sabah travelled to Kelantan and returned home with a draw after the Malaysia Cup game finished 2-2.

A quick return to home after this game, as Sabah are hosting Kelantan in the Malaysia Cup only four days away.

The visitors have scored 6 goals from 11 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. Sabah's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 17 goals from these trips.
