The Panthers two match-winning streak in the Malaysia FA Cup came to an abrupt end as they played hosts to table-toppers Johor Darul Ta'zim FC, as home advantage had little effect on them avoiding a disappointing 5:0 defeat in the quarter-final of the Malaysia FA Cup.

Prior to that, they were up against Terengganu FC on the road, and they found themselves losing 1:0 to drop all three points, which wasn't the result they were searching for at the end of the day.

When playing at home, they have only suffered one loss in their last six matches against Selangor FC, losing 2:1 while recording four wins and a draw to accumulate 13 points, a run that has typified nothing but consistency. It's also worth noting that they are currently on a four-match winning streak.

They presently occupy 9th place with 14 points and are three points adrift of 7th place, while they have only maintained a one-point lead over PDRM FC in 10th place.

The Southern Tigers confirmed their spot in the semi-finals of the Malaysia FA Cup as they showed no mercy to Penang FC at home in the quarter-final as they trounced the Panthers 5:0 despite some slight rotations in their line-up, and it goes without saying they are out to retain their title.

Prior to that, they put the brakes on their out-of-this-world attacking prowess in their match against Sri Pahang FC at home, as they not only claimed a 2:0 triumph but also gifted them their first loss of the season after going eleven games without defeat, which was a bitter pill to swallow for football icon and now manager Fandi Ahmad.

Whether it's playing at home or away, their dominance has left its mark on whatever journey they embark on. They are currently on a six-match winning streak where they have also kept clean sheets in all those matches while scoring a whopping 24 goals, and their success in this match is all but a forgone conclusion.

They presently occupy 1st place with 36 points and have maintained an eight-point lead over Selangor FC in second place, and securing all three points here could see them consolidate their position even further.

• Johor Darul Ta'zim FC have kept 11 clean sheets in their last 12 matches in the Super League.
• Penang FC have won four consecutive home matches in the Super League.
• Penang FC averages 2 goals per game when playing at home, and Johor Darul Ta'zim FC averages 4 goals per game when playing away.

In the last 10 meetings, Penang FC have won 0 times, Johor Darul Ta'zim FC have won 9 times, and there have been 1 draw, with the goal difference being 24-3 in favor of Johor Darul Ta'zim FC.

Penang FC will have another go against the formidable table-toppers Johor Darul Ta'zim FC as they try to avoid another devastating loss in front of their fans, who witnessed their run in the Malaysia FA Cup come to an end, and exacting revenge will be something on their vocabulary in this clash.

Johor Darul Ta'zim FC have been a force to be reckoned with this season, and betting against them here in this clash could turn out to be a costly mistake for a side that has recorded twelve consecutive wins, making their success in this match a forgone conclusion.

Johor Darul Ta'zim FC are favourites with bookmakers but come at an unappealing price in the full-time market which will now be the new norm for the rest of season as no side has has the temerity to challenge them. As such, picking them up to score an individual total of over 3.5 goals should be enough to surface here against a side that has had a leaky defense in their recent matches.

• Total 2 - Over 3.5 for 2.35
• Handicap - Johor Darul Ta'zim FC -1.5 for 1.75
• CS - Penang FC 0:4 Johor Darul Ta'zim FC for 8.00
