National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Selangor United or Pahang that keep their silverware dream alive.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
Selangor United form and stats
Selangor United have performed here at Stadium Mini UITM this season with 6 wins from 10 Premier League matches. Some points have been lost, as they have drawn 2 games and lost 2.
A good away victory last time out for Selangor, who won 3-1 against Pulau Pinang.
Before that, Selangor played out a Premier League draw 1-1 when visiting Johor Darul Ta'zim II.The Selangor United manager A. bin Sulaiman has got the team scoring with 20 from 10 home games in the league. From these home matches, Selangor United have conceded only 7 goals.
Pahang form and stats
Last season their Malaysia Cup adventure ended in the 8th finals.Pahang have only collected 5 points from their away games in the Super League, after 1-2-8 (11 played). Three consecutive losses in away matches means Pahang are growing more and more desperate for a good performance on the road.
There might be some fixture complaints from Pahang as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous match, the Malaysia Cup match against Kuala Lumpur (1-3).
A 0-1 defeat away at UiTM before that.The visitors have scored 8 goals from 11 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. For Pahang, more than two goals on average per game end up in their own net.
