Super League: Kedah host Melaka United in what could be an entertaining football game. Here's a thorough preview!
- Kedah have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
- Melaka United have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.
Little time to rest for the home side, as they had a Super League match only four days ago. Thankfully the previous game, versus UiTM, was also a home game here at Stadium Darul Aman. The away team is better rested.
Kedah are staying put; they can neither be promoted or relegated this season and are fighting only for positions. Melaka is no longer fighting for a cause; they can neither go up or down this season.
