This should be quite the exciting contest at Stadium Darulmakmur in the Super League. Pahang is in 5th position and host Sabah in 2nd spot. Read about the game here!
It's quite the trip for Sabah when visiting Pahang as the cities are 3800 kilometers apart.
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.
Pahang form and stats
The hosts won their first Super League game here at Stadium Darulmakmur, lifting spirits. Home statistics for Pahang last season were 4 wins, 2 draws and 5 losses from 11 games.
An away draw last time out for Pahang, facing Selangor in a game that ended 1-1. A painful moment in the game against Selangor was the missed penalty kick from Brundo in the 74th minute. A goal there would obviously have changed the match and probably the outcome.
