Pulau Pinang form and stats

Pulau Pinang have an excellent away record in the Super League so far with 5-1-2 from 8 games. Momentum is building for Pinang in their away games, having won their two previous outings.

S. Boboev and Rafael Vitor scored in Pinang's previous match, the home game against Melaka United that ended 2-1. A heroic performance from Pinang in their game against Melaka United last time out. Things got complicated when Khairu Azrin Khazali was sent off in the 66th minute with the match level. Despite the red card the team were able to pull off a 2-1 victory! World class coaching! That was the thoughts of manager M. Abdul Wahid when S. Boboev scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 78th minute. The end of the last match, against Melaka United, was very satisfying as S. Boboev scored the winning goal deep into overtime.

Ahead of that match was the victory versus Perak at their stadium, the result 5-3.

With an average of more than two away goals per league game away, Pinang are regular goalscorers on their travels. As opposed to that, Pulau Pinang have seen the ball go into their own net 11 times on the road.
