Johor Darul Ta'zim form and stats

Nothing but glory last season for Johor Darul Ta'zim, as they won the Malaysia Cup.

Rock solid. That's the only way to describe the travels of Johor Darul Ta'zim so far, with 10-1-0 (wins-draws-losses) so far. Those are Super League statistics.

Two travels in a row for Johor Darul Ta'zim, whose coach Poggio could celebrate last time after the AFC Champions League win against Bangkok Glass. Attacker Hanapi got a player rating of 9.02 in the game. "Man of the match" Hanapi scored two goals, hit two key passes and dribled past the opponent 3 of 4 times.

Before that, Johor Darul Ta'zim secured a home win against PDRM with the score 4-0.

Again, the away team are huge favourites in this match and any other result would be an upset. We checked our Tipsway database for earlier, recent games with Ta'zim given similar win odds in an away game. This check revealed 16 matches with 14 wins as expected, 2 draws and 0 surprise home wins. The favourites won 13 of these games by at least two goals.

The Johor Darul Ta'zim manager Poggio has seen his team go crazy on the road this season, having scored 42 goals in 11 league matches away. The Johor Darul Ta'zim defense is a tough nut to crack, having conceded less than half a goal per away game on average ({5 goals} in 11 games).

Head 2 Head

Johor Darul Ta'zim have not lost in the last 10 fixtures (9-1-0) against Perak.
