With their 3 point advantage in the league table, Negeri Sembilan fans are hoping to see their team collect maximum points from this game against Kuching FA.
Negeri Sembilan and Kuching FA should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.
Kuching FA have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 2700 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
