A quick peek at the Super League table shows that this is top- vs mid-table, but that's not all there is to know. Get our Johor Darul Ta'zim - Kuala Lumpur preview!
- Johor Darul Ta'zim have the most scored goals (48) in Super League
- Kuala Lumpur have the fewest conceded goals in the first half (3) in Super League
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
Ta'zim are already the Super League winners and can relax with the season objective secured. If they do relax it might give the away team a slightly better chance in this one. Lumpur is no longer fighting for a cause; they can neither go up or down this season.
