A home win is expected from this fixture if the league table is anything to judge by. The Pulau Pinang fans are optimistic that the difference between 1st and Kelantan United's 9th place in the table will show on the pitch.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Kelantan as they have only managed to score 4 times from 5 away games in the league. Kelantan struggle to build an impenetrable defensive wall in away matches with a total of 8 goals conceded from these games.
