Their journey in the Malaysian Super League has unfortunately come to an end, with the unfortunate truth being that countless opportunities to change the course of their direction for the better have been presented to them, and now an introductory feast to the league's second tier awaits them.

Adding to their mountainous problems, they were defeated 2-0 on the road by Petaling Jaya City FC, adding to their record of a 9-match losing streak when playing away, with no clear evidence of a win recorded in their last 11 away matches played with only a point accumulated.

Their form has been inconsistent, with three points from a win and four losses in their last five matches. Despite their poor performance this season, it is safe to say that their performance the previous season was second to none, as they finished third with 41 points.

They've managed to hang on for two years and have certainly tried their hardest to be competitive in the Super League, and now all they can hope for is a memorable victory at home in their final match of the season, as relegation is unavoidable.

In their most recent game against Sarawak United, The Red Giants took calculated risks, and thanks to their carefully thought-out strategy, it undoubtedly paid off. The need for revision was therefore irrelevant as they eked out a narrow 1-nil victory to secure an important three points.

With one of the listed goals on the checklist—finishing in fifth place—completed, all that's left to do is to solidify their position. With just a goal differential standing between them and Kuala Lumpur, who are in sixth place with 29 points, a slip-up in this situation would be an invitation for rival Super League teams to overtake them.

Three consecutive victories on the spot is what they've accomplished thus far, and building on their victory over Sarawak United in pursuit of a fourth victory will be another achievement to leave behind as they embark on a new fruitful season. In their last five matches, they have collected 12 points from four wins and one loss.

• In the Super League, Selangor FC has kept three consecutive clean sheets.
• When playing at home, Penang FC averages 1.55 goals per game, while Selangor FC averages 1.25 goals per game when playing away.
• The average number of goals scored in a match between Penang FC and Selangor FC is three.
• When playing at home, Penang FC concedes an average of 1.7 goals, while Selangor FC concedes an average of 2.1 goals when playing away.

Penang FC has won once in the last seven meetings; Selangor FC has won five times; and there has been one draw, with a goal difference of 13-5 in favor of Selangor FC.

Selangor FC are still not out of danger, as they must now ensure their stronghold in the rankings with a victory going into this match, as a loss will be the ruin of their already built foundation, which currently places them in fifth place.

A defeat could result in a drop in the rankings, so we can expect the visitors to take a defensive approach, which could contribute significantly to their maintaining their position.

Penang FC have had a disappointing season, as evidenced by their 12th-place finish, and with their confidence shattered entering this match, another disappointing outcome could be witnessed, making a victory for Selangor FC a foregone conclusion.
