Sabah and Terengganu are both successful in the Super League with their 2nd and 4th positions respectively. Let's hope for a top fixture!

Insights:

  • Terengganu have the fewest dropped points from leading position (0) in Super League

Terengganu have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 4000 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
