Competition: Malaysia Premier League
Date: Sat 20.July
Match begins: 13:00 (UTC)
Venue: Stadium Negeri (26000 seats)

An important duel in the bottom section of the league table, with both teams experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic “six-pointer” with the home team placed 11th and the visitors in 9th place.

It's no vacation for neither Sarawak nor Selangor United as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

Selangor United have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 2800 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
