Fixate on their own match tactics or switch tactics dependant on the opponent? Both Perak and Sabah should try something separate than earlier. Read more!
- Perak have the most conceded goals (44) in Super League
- Sabah have yet to win a game away.
Perak and Sabah should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.
It's quite the trip for Sabah when visiting Perak as the cities are 3900 kilometers apart.
For Perak relegation is already certain this season. Only divine intervention and/or time travel can save them and neither look likely. Sabah is no longer fighting for a cause; they can neither go up or down this season.
Perak form and stats
With 1 Super League win, 4 draws and 5 defeats from their home games, Perak are certainly not brimming with confidence. It's trouble wherever Perak are playing these days as they have suffered six straight defeats now, regardless of arena. They really need to get back to winning ways.
Perak faced defeat in their previous match, away at Melaka United (1-2).
Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Kedah (0-1).The Perak fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 11 in 10 matches. Perak have conceded 19 from these games.
Sabah form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Sabah so far with only 5 points returning home. The records show 0-5-5 (win-draw-lose). The loyal fans travelling with their beloved Sabah have enjoyed the stadium food more than the matches as the visitors have gone ten consecutive matches without winning on the road. The last time three points were secured away was the Melaka United game.
Sabah aren't clicking offensively as they have gone 384 league minutes without a goal. L. Madinda was the last player to find the net.
This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Super League home defeat versus Selangor with 0-6 on the scoreboard. As you can see from the result above, the defeat against Selangor was particularly ugly (0-6). The humiliation is still top of mind.
Prior to that match, the Sabah manager D. Kurniawan faced defeat when travelling to UiTM and losing 0-4.Goals are few and far between in Sabah's away league games. Only 5 goals from 10 travels. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 0 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. Defensive performances away have varied in quality as Sabah have conceded 15 goals on the road. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
