The Southern Tigers justified their position as favorites tenfold in their recent outing against Negeri Sembilan, with their attacking prowess on display as they netted a whopping 7 goals that went unanswered (7:0), an uneventful evening their opponent will remember for the rest of the season.
Prior to that, they faced Kuala Lumpur City FC on the road and came away with a three-pointer in a convincing 3:0 victory. In that match, they took a one-goal lead through an own goal in the 41st minute and went on to score two more goals in the second half, coming from Endrick and Arif Aiman Hanapi.
Despite the fact that the season is still in its early stages, they've already purloined the spotlight with a three-game winning streak and have displayed impressive performances in both defense and offense, keeping a clean sheet in all three games and scoring 12 goals.
While it was obvious they would reclaim their rightful place in the standings, it was only a matter of when, and they have done just that, as they currently occupy first place with 9 points, level on points with Sabah FA, and what comes after that is already a foregone conclusion in which they maintain their grip on the summit.
Kelantan FC
After knocking countless times for that one win to brag about in a competitive league, they ran out 2:0 winners against Penang FC, boosting their confidence ahead of this match.
Prior to that, they were unlucky in their most recent match against Sri Pahang FC on the road, who proved to be more hungry for three points than they were, eventually falling to a 4:1 defeat, but that didn't stop Miguel Angel from scoring a consolation goal for his side in the dying embers of the game.
While they've moved away from the bottom of the table, currently sitting in seventh place with three points, and having tasted success, they'll want to build on that momentum to propel themselves up the standings, though it won't be easy given the opponent they face in this match.
