Perhaps a welcome break from league football as MISC & Sabah face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Malaysia Cup. All the pre-match information is available here!
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
It's quite the trip for Sabah when visiting MISC as the cities are 3800 kilometers apart.
MISC form and stats
MISC was eliminated in the 8th finals last season in the Malaysia Cup.3 victories, 3 draws and 5 defeats. That’s what MISC have to build on here at Stadium Petaling Jaya in the Super League.
MISC are returning here after visiting Selangor in a Super League game and winning with a 2-1 scoreline. Syahmi Zamri and Khyril Muhymeen Zambri scored the goal(s). World class coaching! That was the thoughts of M. a/l Pachaiappan when Syahmi Zamri scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 56th minute.
Before that game, the 1-0 home victory against UiTM.There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for MISC as they are travelling to their away game against Johor Darul Ta'zim in the Malaysia Cup. That match is three days after this one.
MISC have scored 10 league goals here from 11 matches, not a lot. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 17 goals have been conceded.
Sabah form and stats
Sabah was sent out of Malaysia Cup in the group stage last season.There's been little loot from Sabah's travels as they have only collected 5 points from 11 away games in the Super League. Sabah only have 0 wins to counter their 6 defeats and 5 draws. Sabah are desperate to end a ten-game winless run, as they haven't won a game since the Melaka United fixture.
It might be tough going out on the road again for Sabah, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 1-2 versus Perak.
Preceding that, the 0-6 home loss versus Selangor.Many goals are not expected from the visiting Sabah as they have only managed to score 6 times from 11 away games in the league. In the opposite end, Sabah have conceded 17 goals in their away games.
Head 2 Head
Numbers for the former seven meetings featuring these two squads are: three wins for MISC, two draws and two wins for Sabah. Over 2,5 goals: three times; under 2,5 goals: four games.Top Goalscorers
