Sabah form and stats

Things could have gone better for Sabah in their Super League away matches, but 4 points from 3 games is all right.

Two away games in a row for Sabah, who will hope to get a better result in this one after losing 0-4 versus Johor Darul Ta'zim. That loss was their first after five consecutive league rounds winning points. Sabah lost the plot completely in their previous game, as mentioned above. They need to recover quickly from that 0-4 beating and focus on this one.

Prior to that match, a home win 5-2 against Pulau Pinang.

{3 goals} so far away for Sabah, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 6. All from 3 league matches away.

Head 2 Head

Lumpur have avoided defeat in the last 6 fixtures (3-3-0) facing Sabah.
