The season has been gruelling for Pulau Pinang up to now, while Sabah have won many games. Will the guests win again at Stadium Bandar Raya Pulau Pinang?

Insights:
  • Pulau Pinang is in the worst form (0-3-3)
  • Sabah have the fewest scored goals (2) away in Super League

It's quite the trip for Sabah when visiting Pulau Pinang as the cities are 4200 kilometers apart.

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.

Pulau Pinang form and stats

Three Super League home games done for Pulau Pinang, who are not happy collecting 2 points from these matches. With three straight defeats the pressure is piling up on Pulau Pinang to get some points in this home game.

No payout for Pinang in their previous match, an away game at Kuala Lumpur that ended in defeat 2-3.

Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Pahang (1-3).

This is expected to be a close game, with Pulau Pinang perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Pulau Pinang as a small favourite), we find 10 games. Pulau Pinang has won 5 of these, drawn 3 and lost 2.

Pulau Pinang have conceded 4 in these home matches.

Sabah form and stats

It's gone fairly well in the Super League away games so far for Sabah with six points collected from three matches.

Tae-Su and Yahyah (3) scored in Sabah's previous match, the home game against Kedah that ended 4-0. As mentioned above, Sabah was the only team on the pitch versus Kedah in their previous game, winning 4-0. This could be a tougher task. It's hard not to mention Yahyah's lethal finishing against Kedah. three goals were a big reason for the important victory.

It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Kuala Lumpur wasn't a success with a 0-2 loss.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found 7 similar matches played by Sabah in our archives, and the results are: 3 wins for Sabah, 2 draws and 2 defeats.

The attacking power of Sabah when travelling is not overwhelming with 2 goals scored from 3 league matches away. Sabah are defending well in their away games, having conceded only 2 times in 3 matches. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
