Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Kelantan & 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 no vacation for neither Kelantan nor Sabah as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
These teams have little in common geographically as Sabah have to travel 4100 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
Kelantan form and stats
Last season their Malaysia Cup adventure ended in the 8th finals.The story so far in the Premier League for Kelantan at their home stadium (Stadium Sultan Mohammad IV) is 5 wins, 0 draws and 5 defeats.
No payout for Kelantan in their previous match, an away game at Johor Darul Ta'zim that ended in defeat 0-2.
Before that, Kelantan had a Premier League home game versus PKNS which ended with a victory 2-1.Kelantan has scored 11 league goals at home this season, in 10 matches. Kelantan have conceded 13 in these home matches.
Sabah form and stats
Last season their Malaysia Cup adventure 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). Sabah are desperate to end a ten-game winless run, as they haven't won a game since the Melaka United fixture.
It's another away game for the visitors, as they travelled to MISC in their previous outing. The Malaysia Cup match ended in a draw 1-1.
It was a Super League defeat before that one as the away game against Perak wasn't a success with a 1-2 loss.The attacking power of Sabah when travelling is not overwhelming with 6 goals scored from 11 league matches away. Sabah struggle to build an impenetrable defensive wall in away matches with a total of 17 goals conceded from these games.
Head 2 Head
Head to head numbers (for the prior ten meetings): Kelantan won five games, three matches ended with a draw and Sabah got two wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: five / fiveTop Goalscorers
