Evenly matched teams: PKNS vs Kedah match preview

It's no vacation for neither PKNS nor Kedah as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

PKNS form and stats

The story so far for PKNS at their home stadium (Stadium Shah Alam) is 4 wins, 1 draw and 3 defeats.

PKNS's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 2-3 versus Kedah. Prior to that, an away loss at FELDA United.

This is expected to be a close game, with PKNS perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with PKNS as a small favourite), we find one game. PKNS has won 0 of these, drawn 0 and lost 1.

PKNS have proved capable of finding the net in their games here at Stadium Shah Alam with 14 goals in 8 matches. On the other hand, PKNS have conceded 10 goals.

Kedah form and stats

There's been little loot from Kedah's travels as they have only collected 7 points from 8 away games. Kedah only have 2 wins to counter their 5 defeats and 1 draw.

Kedah play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 3-2 victory visiting PKNS. Ahead of that game was the 0-0 draw at home against Pahang.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Kedah playing away and similar expectations, we found three relevant matches. Results were 2 Kedah wins, 0 draws and 1 defeat.

The visitors have scored 7 goals from 8 away games, an average of less than one per game. 10 goals have been conceded by Kedah in these games.
