Match begins: 12:15 (UTC)
Venue: Stadium Sarawak

Sarawak hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 10 points and a 11th position in the Premier League table. Visiting Negeri Sembilan holds 5th place with 25 pts.

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.

It's quite the trip for Negeri Sembilan when visiting Sarawak as the cities are 2600 kilometers apart.

Sarawak form and stats

Sarawak's struggle is real here at Stadium Sarawak with only 5 points collected from 8 games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly 1-2-5. With seven home games in a row without a win, the Sarawak fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Pulau Pinang game long ago, can be stopped today. With three straight defeats the pressure is piling up on Sarawak to get some points in this home game.

The Sarawak crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 2-4 to Negeri Sembilan here at Stadium Sarawak in a Premier League match. Heartbreak before that as Sarawak lost 1-4 at Sabah's place.

Sarawak are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home, having created 8 goals in 8 matches. Sarawak have conceded 14 from these games.

Negeri Sembilan find the net in their away games, although not all the time. 12 goals from 9 away fixtures. 12 goals have been conceded by Negeri Sembilan in these games.
