Venue: KLFA Stadium (18000 seats)

Struggling Kuala Lumpur will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Johor Darul Ta'zim in the upcoming league round. It’s 12th vs 1st and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.

Kuala Lumpur have less rest than Johor Darul Ta'zim in this fixture, as the hosts were involved in a Super League game only three days ago. This match was also played here at KLFA Stadium. With two consecutive home games the intense schedule is somewhat softened. Still, Johor Darul Ta'zim have had more rest. That game was an away game at FELDA United, so at least Kuala Lumpur are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!

Kuala Lumpur form and stats

4-1-5 (win-draw-lost) are the numbers at home for Kuala Lumpur, who have the most conceded goals (43) in Super League, so far this season. It's trouble wherever Kuala Lumpur are playing these days as they have suffered five straight defeats now, regardless of arena. They really need to get back to winning ways. We have seen two home losses in a row now for Kuala Lumpur, who are hoping that the phrase “third time lucky” applies to them.

The Kuala Lumpur fans got no joy from their last match, a Super League game also here at KLFA Stadium: A 0-2 defeat against FELDA United. Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Pahang (0-2).

The Kuala Lumpur fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 15 goals in 10 matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 16 goals have been conceded.
