Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Selangor & Melaka United face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Malaysia Cup. All the pre-match information is available here!
Selangor form and stats
Last season, Selangor's Malaysia Cup journey ended in the semi-finals against Johor Darul Ta'zim.Selangor have collected 7 points from their Super League home games so far after 1-4-0. In general it's been a long time since Selangor tasted defeat here at Stadium Hang Jebat, as they have taken at least one point from their last 13 home games in the league.
Selangor's previous game was a Super League match also played at home, ending 6-1 versus FELDA United. The home side are looking to build on that result. Before that match, a Super League win away at PDRM.
As mentioned above, Selangor "killed" FELDA United in their previous game. They need to reset completely for this one and beware of complacency. What a game it was for I. Olusegun when beating FELDA United, applying the finishing touch to four goals!
Selangor can score goals in their home matches. After 5 league matches they have found the net 11 times. Selangor have conceded 6 in these home matches.
Melaka United form and stats
Last season their Malaysia Cup adventure ended in the quarter-finals against Pahang.The visitors are W2-D1-L3 on the road this term. That's in the Super League. Three has not been a lucky number for Melaka as they have been defeated three times in a row since the MISC match. Melaka seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?
The attacking players of Melaka have been feeble for some time now, the team not scoring a league goal in the last 225 minutes.
This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Super League home defeat versus Johor Darul Ta'zim with 0-5 on the scoreboard. It was a Super League defeat before that one as the away game against Kedah wasn't a success with a 0-1 loss.
As you can see from the result above, the defeat against Johor Darul Ta'zim was particularly ugly (0-5). The humiliation is still top of mind.
Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Melaka United have scored 8 goals in 6 league games away. 8 goals have been conceded by Melaka United in these games.
Head 2 Head
As for the last nine games between these two teams, there's three Selangor victories, four draws and two Melaka United wins. Over/under statistics; four of these games ended with three goals or more, five matches with two goals or less.Top Goalscorers
