Melaka United form and stats

Melaka United have only collected 7 points from their away games in the Super League, after 2-1-5 (8 played). The pressure to perform on the road is increasing on Ninggal, the Melaka manager, as the last three away games were defeats.

Melaka United are looking to quickly end their 399 minutes long goal drought in the Super League.

Melaka United's last game was the home draw against Kuala Lumpur (0-0).

Preceding that, the 0-3 home loss versus Kedah.

The attacking power of Melaka when travelling is not overwhelming with 7 goals scored from 8 league matches away. The Melaka United manager Ninggal has some worries about the defense as 18 goals have been conceded in these travels. It's worth mentioning that 11 of these goals has been conceded in their last three away matches.
