Both teams are enjoying a good season so far and games like this could be decisive. Here's the preview for UiTM - Sabah!

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.

Sabah have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 3700 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

UiTM form and stats

UiTM's struggle is real here at Stadium Mini UITM with only 8 points collected from 10 games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly 2-2-6. With three straight defeats the pressure is piling up on UiTM to get some points in this home game. Two defeats in a row at home hurts for UiTM, their manager Wan Mustaffa and the supporters. There are certain expectations for improvement.

The UiTM crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 1-2 to Sabah here at Stadium Mini UITM in a Premier League match. Before that game, the home loss against PDRM with the scoreline 1-2.

UiTM has scored 13 goals at home this season, in 10 matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 19 goals have been conceded.

Sabah form and stats

Sabah have an excellent away record so far with 5-3-1 from 9 games. In general it has been a productive period now for Sabah as they haven't lost any of their last ten games. It’s been three wins in a row for Sabah on their travels, an amazing performance which inspire hopes of making this one the fourth consecutive victory.

It's the second away game in a row for Sabah, but there's smiles all around after the 2-1 victory versus UiTM in the Premier League last time out. Ahead of that match was the victory versus Johor Darul Ta'zim II at their stadium, the result 1-0.

Sabah have scored 12 goals on their travels this season, 9 away games. It's not easy to score on Sabah as they have only conceded 8 goals from these away games.

Head 2 Head
