This match features two teams living in the basement of the Premier League, Sarawak holding 11th place and UKM lying 9th. A good chance for both teams to improve their position.
It's no vacation for neither Sarawak nor UKM 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.
Everyone involved with the away team has to get their travel gear ready for this match as there's a whopping 2700 kilometers to cover before arriving at the match.
Sarawak form and stats
With 1 win, 2 draws and 3 defeats from their home games, Sarawak, who have the fewest scored goals (5) at home in Premier League, are certainly not brimming with confidence.The Sarawak crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 1-3 to UKM here at Stadium Negeri in a Premier League match. Preceding that game was the home draw versus Johor Darul Ta'zim II that ended 1-1.
