This game was marked in the calendar a long time ago by regulars of both participants, as it's the premier Super League match of the season. Both Sabah and Negeri Sembilan are ready for a positive start to their league adventure.
These teams have little in common geographically as Negeri Sembilan have to travel 3600 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
