Negeri Sembilan are finding life sweet in the top table places while Pahang are more nervous about avoiding relegation. Expected home win or surprise away points?
- Negeri Sembilan have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
- Pahang have the most dropped points from leading position (10) in Super League
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
Negeri Sembilan form and stats
Negeri Sembilan have collected 7 points from their Super League home games so far after 2-1-1.
Alves was the last player to score a league goal for Negeri Sembilan and it's becoming a more and more distant memory as Negeri Sembilan haven't scored in 291 minutes. The Sembilan goalkeeper Ahmad Syihan Hazmi Mohamed is looking to record 90 more "clean sheet" minutes as his team have now played 180 minutes without conceding a goal in the Super League.
An away draw last time out for Negeri Sembilan, facing Melaka United in a game that ended 0-0.
A 0-0 draw away before that, with Kedah the opponent.The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Sembilan have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found 8 matches with the results: Won 5, drawn 2 and lost 1.
The manager Kuppusamy will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Terengganu in only four days.
