The visiting Pulau Pinang side should be favourites in this visit to UKM, as the away team holds a 11 point advantage from their eight league games this season.
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
UKM form and stats
1 victory, 1 draw and 1 defeat. That’s what UKM, who have the fewest scored goals (2) at home in Premier League, have to build on here at Stadium Majlis Perbandaran Selayang in the Premier League.
UKM shared the glory with PBDKT T-Team in their last match, an away game that ended all square 2-2.
UKM have scored 2 league goals here from 3 matches, not a lot. UKM have conceded 5 from these games.
Pulau Pinang form and stats
Pulau Pinang, who have the fewest conceded goals (6) in Premier League, are happy with their away performances in the Premier League so far, having secured two victories and one draw from their first three travels. The visitors have performed well in their home games as well, building a total win streak of four games home and away. Pinang hope to make it five in this match. Momentum is building for Pulau Pinang in their away games, having won their two previous outings.
Pinang won their last game, 2-1 versus Kuala Lumpur played at home.
Late drama in the previous game, when Robbie Crawford scored the winning goal two minutes into stoppage time to defeat Kuala Lumpur.
With an average of more than two away goals per league game away, Pulau Pinang are regular goalscorers on their travels. It's not easy to score on Pinang as they have only conceded 2 goals from these away games.
Head 2 Head
Numbers for the last four meetings between these two teams are: one win for UKM, two draws and one win for Pulau Pinang. Over 2,5 goals: two times; under 2,5 goals: two games.UKM missing players
