An important duel in the bottom section of the Super League, with both MISC and Sabah experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic "six-pointer" with the home team placed 10th and the visitors in 11th place.
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
It's time to recharge all electronic entertainment devices for Sabah, who are travelling more than 3800 kilometers to play this game.
MISC form and stats
OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for MISC's two home games in the Super League so far this season, having collected 3 points here at Stadium Petaling Jaya.
The fans are hoping that MISC will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 1-2 away loss in the Super League game against Kedah (placed 3rd). Preceding that game was the away draw at Selangor that finished 0-0.
MISC has scored 3 goals so far and conceded 4 goals from 2 home games. These are numbers from the league only.
Sabah form and stats
Still no away game victory in the Super League for Sabah with 1 draw and 2 losses from their first 3 attempts. With two straight losses from their last two away games, Sabah are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.
Sabah's previous game was their home loss versus Selangor (1-2). Preceding that game, the 0-4 loss visiting Terengganu's place.
There's been a serious shortage of goals from Sabah's away games in the league this season with only 0 goals from 3 matches. The Sabah manager D. Kurniawan has some worries about the defense as 6 goals have been conceded in these travels.
Head 2 Head
Head-2-head stats last four meetings: one - one - two (MISC wins - draws - Sabah wins). As for goals, three matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), one had two or less.MISC missing players
