This match features two teams living in the basement of the Super League, Sabah holding 9th place and Perak lying 10th. A good chance for both teams to improve their position.
- Sabah have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
- Perak have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.
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.
Perak have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 3900 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

Perak form and stats
As the visiting team in Super League matches, Perak have produced an overall stat of 1-0-3 so far. Three consecutive losses in away matches means Perak are growing more and more desperate for a good performance on the road.
