Kuching FA have found it difficult to get points this season. Will the team get some sugar when Negeri Sembilan come to visit Pasir Gudang Corporation Stadium?

Insights:
  • Kuching FA have the fewest clean sheets (2) in Premier League

Kuching have less rest than Negeri Sembilan in this fixture, as the hosts were involved in a Premier League game only four days ago. Thankfully the previous game, versus PKNS, was also a home game here at Pasir Gudang Corporation Stadium. The away team is better rested.

These teams have little in common geographically as Negeri Sembilan have to travel 2700 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

Negeri Sembilan are still fighting for the big positions at the top of the table.
