There has not been much time to rest for the guests, as they played a Malaysia Cup game only four days ago. That game was also an away game, at Kelantan United. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.

Kelantan form and stats

With 1 Super League win, 1 draw and 5 defeats from their home games, Kelantan are certainly not brimming with confidence. The home stadium (Stadium Sultan Mohammad IV) is supposed to be a fortress, but for Kelantan it's been a house of straw as the last four games here have all been lost. Can they turn things around?

Kelantan's previous fixture was also a home event, the defeat 1-5 against Johor Darul Ta'zim (in Malaysia Cup).

Prior to that, an away loss at Kuala Lumpur in the Super League.

Goals are appearing in numbers in this club's league games, with 15 in a row having three goals or more (over 2.5).

Kelantan has scored 8 league goals at home this season, in 7 matches.

Negeri Sembilan form and stats

There's been little loot from Negeri Sembilan's travels as they have only collected 8 points from 9 away games in the Super League. Negeri Sembilan only have 1 win to counter their 3 defeats and 5 draws. Visiting Negeri Sembilan has seen their last two away games both end with a tied score and one point each.

Two trips in a row for Sembilan, whose manager a/l Kuppusamy could celebrate last time after the Malaysia Cup win against Kelantan United.

Ahead of that match was the Super League away draw versus Terengganu that ended 1-1.

Take note! Both teams have scored in 14 of this club's last 15 league fixtures.

Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Negeri Sembilan have scored 10 goals in 9 league games away. Negeri Sembilan have conceded 13 goals in these away matches.
